PREFACE. 


CO 


Custom  renders  it  essential  tKat  we  sliould  write  a  preface 
to  a  work  of  this  character,  otherwise  this  Gazetteer  would 
be  presented  to  the  public  without  apology.     The  compila- 
tion of  the  work  has  been  attended  with  great  expense  and 
no  small  amount  of  annoyance,  yet  our  thanks  are  due  to 
most  of  our  county  officials  and  the  early  settlers  of  the 
county  for  the  very  generous  responses  they  have  made  to 
our  inquiries,  and  for  their  assistance  in  gathering  statistics. 
We  also  extend  our  acknowledgments  to  the  county  clerks 
of  other  counties  who  have  furnished  us  with  lists  of  their 
county  and  township  officers.     Had  all  thus  responded  those. 
^  lists  would  have  been  complete,  and  information  would  have 
^  been  given^of  which  our  friends  will  be  deprived. 
£S    ■  Our  work  contains  more  than  we  promised  in  our  pros- 
^  pectus,  yet  is  not  in  all  respects  precisely  what  we  at  first 
fes  intended  it  should  be.     We  did  intend  to  give  the  incum- 
ci  brances  or  legal  liabilities  upon  property  in  the  county;  but 
abandoned  the  idea  for  certain  reasons,  some  of  which  we 
may  mention :     We  find  many  mortgages  of  record  uncan- 
celled, which  we  have  every  reason  to  believe  have  been 
paid— the  mortgagees  having  neglected  to  cancel  them.     We 
were  not  inclined,  upon  reflection,  to  risk  giving  offense  by 
publishing  what  appears  of  record  and,  as  a  matter  of  fact, 
is  public  property.     With  this  exception  we  have  omitted 
nothing  we  suggested,  but  have  added  much  useful  informa- 
tion not  proposed  in  our  prospectus.     The  public  are  to  be 
the  jurors  to  determine  its  merits.

HISTORY  OF  TOLO  COUNTY. 


G-eographical  Outlines. 

Yolo  County  is  bounded  on  tlie  north  by  Colusa  and 
Sutter  counties;  on  the  east  by  Sutter  and  Sacramento;  on 
the  south  by  Solano  and  Napa,  and  on  the  west  by  Napa 
and  Lake  counties.  It  is  separated  from  Sacramento  and 
Sutter  counties  by  the  Sacramento  Biver;  from  Solano  by 
Putah  Creek,  and  from  Lake  and  Napa  by  the  summit  of  a 
spur  of  the  coaivo  range  of  mountains. 

Upon  the  organization  of  the  county  by  the  Legislature, 
in  1850,  the  boundaries  were  not  very  minutely  defined; 
but  sufficiently  designated  to  show  that  they  have  not  been 
materially  changed. 

Whatever  legislation  there  has  been  since  the  organiza- 
tion, of  the  county  upon  the  subject  of  its  boundaries,  has 
apparently  been  more  for  the  purpose  of  explaining  what 
was  intended  by  the  original  Act,  than  for  the  purpose  of 
making  any  material  changes  in  its  actual  boundaries. 

Although  several  Acts  have  been  passed  for  that  purpose, 
one  of  which  was  as  late  as  the  session  of  1867-8,  perhaps 
there  are  none  more  definite  than  the  Act  of  March  26th, 
1857,  which  is  as  follows:  "The  boundary  line  of  Yolo 
County  shall  commence  at  a  point  in  the  middle  of  the 
Sacramento  River,  near  the  head  of  Merritt's  on  Steamboat 
Slough,  at  a  point  where  the  township  line,  between  town- 
ship number  five  and  township  number  six,  north  of  the 
Mount  Diablo  base  line  intersects  said  river;  thence  run- 
ning due  west  with  said  township  line  to  the  range  line, 


2  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

between  range  number  two  and  range  number  three,  east  of 
the  meridian  of  Mount  Diablo;  thence  due  north  with  said 
range  line  to  the  south  branch  or  old  bed  of  Putah  Creek; 
thence  westerly  u^^  the  middle  of  the  old  bed,  as  well  as 
the  main  Putah  Creek,  to  a  x^oint  in  the  canon  where  the 
highest  ridge  of  mountains  divides  the  valleys  of  Sacra- 
mento and  Berryessa;  thence  along  the  highest  ridge  of 
said  mountains,  north  to  the  outlet  of  Clear  Lake,  or  until 
it  intersects  a  line  dividing  the  counties  of  Yolo  and  Colusa; 
thence  east  with  said  line  to  the  middle  of  Sacramento 
iEliver;  thence  south  along  the  middle  of  said  river  to  the 
place  of  beginning?" 

That  section  of  country  thus  bounded  and  embracing 
the  County  of  Yolo,  has  its  greatest  length  from  northwest 
to  southeast,  measuring  on  an  air  line  in  that  direction  a 
distance  of  fifty-eight  miles. 

The  county  has  been  wholly  surveyed  and  sectionized, 
from  north  to  south,  from  Colusa  County  to  Solano  County 
line,  a  distance  varying  from  twenty-seven  to  thirty-three 
miles.  It  has  been  surveyed  due  west  from  a  point  on  the 
Sacramento  Piiver  opposite  Sacramento  City,  a  distance  of 
thirty-three  miles,  that  being  the  greatest  width  of  the 
surveyed  portion  of  the  county — there  being  an  average 
width  from  east  to  west  of  about  twenty-seven  and  a  half 
miles,  except  that  portion  extending  south  of  the  sink  of 
Putah  Creek,  as  shown  by  the  map. 

The  extent  of  the  survey  westward  may,  for  all  practical 
purposes,  at  least  for  agricultural  and  grazing  purposes,  be 
considered  the  western  boundary  of  the  county,  for  beyond 
that  survey  the  mountains  are  rugged  and  rocky,  and  wholly 
unfit  for  cultivation  or  grazing.  That  portion  of  the  coun- 
ty which  has  been  segregated  or  sectionized,  covers  an  area 
of  about  nine  hundred  and  forty  square  miles,  which,  per- 
haps for  average  productiveness  of  soil,  is  nowhere  sur- 
passed, and  it  may  be  considered  capable  of  supporting  as 
mauy  inhal)itants  to  the  square  mile  as  any  portion  of  the 
country,  and  we  will  venture  here  to  digress  so  far  as  to 
observe  that,  with  a  population  as  dense  as  an  average  of 
some  of  the  Eastern  States,  the  number  of  Yolo's  inhabi- 
tants would  exceed  one  hundred  thousand. 


HISTORY  OF   YOLO   COUNTY. 


Except  for  a  distance  of  three  or  fpur  miles  along  the 
western  line  of  the  surveyed  portion  of  the  county,  the 
whole  surface  presents  the  appearance  of  a  perfectly  level 
plain,  extending  from  Colusa  County  on  the  north  to  Solano 
on  the  south,  from  the  Sacramento  Eiver  on  the  east  to  the 
low  hills  at  the  foot  of  the  mountains  on  the  west,  with  a 
descent  so  gradual  from  the  mountains  to  the  river  as  not 
to  be  perceptable  to  the  naked  eye. 

This  plain  is  only  broken  by  a  few  creeks  and  ravines, 
which  are  but  trenches  worn  into  the  earth  by  the  action  of 
water  as  it  has  drained  from  the  mountains  during  the  rainv 
seasons,  except  Cache  Creek,  of  which  we  shall  presently 
speak.  We  should  further  state  that  it  is  broken  by  a  low, 
gravelly  ridge  (which  does  not  amount  to  the  dignity  of  a 
hill),  extending  about  half  way  through  the  county,  north- 
west to  southeast,  and  being  from  one  to  two  miles  in 
width. 

Along  the  bank  of  the  Sacramento  Kiver  there  is  a  strip 
of  l^nd  varying  in  width  from  a  few  rods  to  one  or  two 
miles,  of  a  rich,  sandy  loam,  unsurpassed  in  its  productive- 
ness of  fruits  and  cereals.  Adjoining  this,  and  further  from 
the  river,  is  a  strip  of  tule  and  salt-grass  land,  from  half  a 
mile  to  three  or  four  miles  in  width,  of  a  black,  clayey  soil, 
impregnated  with  alkali,  unfit  for  cultivation  and  only  used 
for  grazing  purposes.  Then  comes  the  great  body  of  farm- 
ing lands  of  the  county.  The  soil  may  be  designated  as  a 
black,  clayey  loam,  intermingled  with  a  small  proportion  of 
sand,  and  it  appears  to  be  especially  adapted  to  the  growth 
of  wheat  and  barley,  whilst  grapes  and  other  fruits  grow 
luxuriantly.  Such  is  the  soil  of  the  great  body  of  the 
county,  though  the  low  ridge  we  have  mentioned  is  a  red, 
gravelly  clay,  not  so  productive  as  the  former,  yet  by  no 
means  a  poor  quality  of  land. 

Cache  Creek  is  the  only  stream  of  water  of  note  in  the 
county.  West  of  the  mountain  spur  forming  the  boundary 
line,  and  in  the  midst  of  the  coast  range,  is  a  basin,  in 
which  is  situated  Lake  County,  and  that  beautiful  sheet  of 
water,  some  forty  miles  in  length,  known  as  Clear  Lake, 
the  outlet  of  which  is  Cache  Creek,  which  appears  to  have 
marvelously  cut  its  way  through  i^hat  high  mountain  range,

for  the  purpose  of  transporting  alluvium  to  fertilize  tlie  soil 
of  Yolo.  As  it  lias  merged  from  the  mountains  in  ages 
past,  it  appears  to  have  washed  away  the  hills  on  either 
side,  and  formed  that  beautiful  and  productive  district  of 
country  now  known  as  Capay  Valley.  It  appears  to  have 
taken  nearly  a  direct  course  to  empty  the  waters  of  Clear 
Lake  into  the  Sacramento  River;  but,  ere  it  reaches  its 
apparent  destination,  its  waters  are  spread  out  upon  the 
surface  of  the  soil,  and  are  made  to  disappear  by  natural 
absorption  and  evaporation.  The  county  for  the  most 
part  may  be  said  to  be  destitute  of  timber,  yet  there  are 
belts  of  stately  oaks  along  the  borders  of  Cache  Creek,  on 
the  banks  of  the  Sacramento  River,  and  on  the  low  hills  at 
the  foot  of  the  mountains,  sufficient,  with  proper  economy, 
to  supply  the  county  with  fuel  for  a  long  series  of  years. 

The  pen  would  utterly  fail  to  convey  an  adequate  idea  of 
the  native  beauty  of  that  district  of  country,  a  brief  geo- 
graphical outline  of  which  we  have  given,  especially  to  one 
whose  travels  have  been  confined  to  the  States  east  of  the 
Rocky  Mountains.  Imagination  would  hardly  picture  a 
country  more  attractive  to  the  pioneer — a  country  whose 
soil  is  more  productive  of  agricultural  sta23les,  whose  cli- 
mate is  more  healthful,  and  whose  native  growths  of  vege- 
tation are  more  luxuriant. 

Prior  to  the  settlement  of  this  section  of  country,  it  is 
said  that  the  horseback  traveler,  whilst  sitting  upon  his 
animal,  might  bend  the  tops  of  wild  oats  over  his  shoulders, 
the  roots  being  still  unsevered  from  the  ground.  Less  than 
thirty  years  ago  this  country,  possessing,  if  we  may  use 
the  expression,  such  mines  of  agricultural  wealth,  was  the 
abode  only  of  wild  beasts.  Here  the  grizzly  bear  roamed 
in  his  majesty  over  the  plains  and  upon  the  mountain  side, 
undisturbed  by  the  encroachment  of  man  or  beast,  con- 
scious of  his  superior  prowess  and  of  the  inability  of  all 
other  animals  to  cope  with  him,  he  proclaimed  himself 
lord  of  all  he  surveyed,  and  neither  the  native  inhabitants 
nor  brute  animals  of  the  country  invited  him  to  bend  his 
course  for  their  convenience.  Here  the  elk,  the  deer  and 
the  antelope,  congregated  in  droves  of  hundreds  and  thou- 
sands, grazed  uj)on  the  rich  fields  of  wild  oats,  or  rumina-

ted  in  tlie  sliade  of  the  stately  oaks,  bathed  in  the  limpid 
waters  of  Cache  Creek  and  of  the  Sacramento  Eiver,  undis- 
turbed by  the  crack  of  the  hunter's  rifle,  and  unconscious 
of  the  dangers  that  awaited  them.  Here  the  prowling  wolf 
came  down  from  his  mountain  haunts  in  pursuit  of  his 
prey — the  hare,  ground-squirrel  and^  perhaps,  occasionally 
a  deer  or  an  anteloj)e;  here  worked  the  industrious  beaver 
at  the  mouths  of  Cache  Creek  and  Putah  Creek  and  along 
the  Sacramento  River,  undisturbed  by  the  trapper  and  the 
hunter.  In  the  district  of  country  we  are  describing,  there 
were  two  solitary  camjDS  of  Indians — the  one  on  Grand 
Island,  toward  the  northern  boundary  of  the  county,  and 
the  other  in  a  small  valley  over  the  first  range  of  hills  from 
Cache  Creek  Canon  or  Capay  Valley.  These  were  of  the 
lowest  order  of  native  Americans,  indolent  and  inactive, 
and  in  intelligence  but  little  higher  than  the  brutes;  their 
food  consisted  of  acorns,  pine  nuts,  manzanita  berries,  clo- 
ver blossoms  and  grasshoppers,  with  such  small  game  as 
they  could  kill  with  their  arrows. 

II. 

From  1841  to  1848. 

What  boy  has  not  listened  with  pleasant  emotions  to  tales 
of  pioneer  life  as  related  by  his  grandfather,  his  father  or 
other  aged  relatives  or  friends?  What  child's  pulse  has 
not  quickened  and  eye  moistened  while  listening  to  stories 
of  privations  and  sorrows,  toils  and  hardships,  accidents 
and  dangers,  incident  to  the  early  settlement,  of  every  coun- 
try ?  Who,  in  maturer  years,  does  not  delight  to  dwell  upon 
those  themes  with  which  he  has  become  familiar  by  the  oft- 
repeated  tales  of  his  sire  or  grandsire,  and  especially  when 
they  relate  to  the  early  settlement  of  one's  native  or 
adopted  country  ? 

Even  at  this  early  day,  doubtless,  many  items  of  interest 
in  the  history  of  this  and  other  counties  of  the  State  have 
been  lost  to  memory,  and  without  the  adoption  of  some 
means  of  preserving  a  record  of  the  facts,  in  a  few  years 
more  they  would  be  entirely  forgotten,  or  be  known  only  in 
tradition. 


6  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

Tlie  history  of  a  county  being  inseparably  connected 
with  tliat  of  the  State  in  which  it  is  located,  and  with  the 
lives  and  experiences  of  its  inhabitants,  it  will  be  impracti- 
cal, if  not  impossible,  to  confine  ourselves  strictly  to  insti- 
tutions wholly  within  the  limits  of  the  county,  or  to  persons 
whose  residences  have  been  within  its  borders.  Countries 
are  usually  settled  by  those  whose  love  of  adventure  and 
attachment  to  the  frontier,  more  than  avarice,  prompts  them 
to  press  forward  into  regions  uninhabited  and  compara- 
tively unexplored;  such  was  the  character  and  disposition  of 
the  early  settlers  of  Yolo  County — the  most  conspicuous  of 
whom  was  Mr.  William  Gordon,  now  a  resident  of  Lake 
County,  to  whom  we  are  indebted  for  many  of  the  facts  and 
incidents  we  are  about  to  relate.  Mr.  Gordon  may  be  con- 
sidered the  first  white  settler  of  the  county,  who,  so  to 
speak,  planted  here  the  germ  of  civilization,  who  set  ex- 
amples of  industry  and  morality  worthy  of  emulation  by 
any  people. 

Before  referring,  however,  to  particulars  regarding  his 
settlement  here,  we  will  relate  a  tolerably  well-authenti- 
cated stor}'  of  one  who  settled  here  at  a  much  earlier  date : 
It  is  said,  when  Mr.  Gordon  and  his  party  reached  the  bor- 
ders of  Yolo  County,  there  were  at  the  head  of  Grand 
Island  two  or  three  half-breed  Indians,  who  were  the  de- 
scendants of  a  Scotchman ;  that  some  thirty  years  prior  to 
the  arrival  of  the  Gordon  party,  the  Scotchman  referred  to 
was  a  sailor  upon  an  English  vessel  who  landed  in  the  har- 
bor of  what  is  now  San  Francisco;  that  he,  either  in  fact 
or  in  his  imagination,  was  maltreated  by  the  officers  of  the 
ship,  and  so  determined,  rather  than  endure  such  usage,  to 
leave  the  vessel  and  cast  his  destiny  alone,  in  a  country 
only  inhabited  by  ferocious  beasts  and  the  lowest  order  of 
barbarians.  Like  Eobinson  Crusoe,  upon  the  Island  of 
Juan  do  Fernandes,  he  wandered  forth  in  quest  of  associ- 
ates until  he  reached  Grand  Island,  now  a  part  of  Yolo 
County,  when  he  fell  in  with  the  tribe  of  Indians  before 
referred  to,  took  up  his  abode  with  them,  and,  after  the  In- 
dian style  of  marriage,  took  to  himself  a  wife,  with  whom 
he  lived  several  years  (begat  the  half-breeds  referred  to, 
who,  in  1811,  were  from  twenty-five  to  thirty  years  of  age), 


HISTORY  OF  YOLO   COUNTY.  7 

and  died  witliont  ever  again  visiting  tlie  sea-shore  or  being- 
able  to  communicate  liis  experience  and  destiny  to  liis  fel- 
low-sailors or  to  liis  relatives  and  friends  in  the  Old  World. 
Such  is  the  story  as  we  have  learned  it  from  one  who  in- 
forms us  that  the  facts  were  communicated  to  him  by  said 
half-breed  sons  of  the  red-headed  Scotchman.  This  story 
is  corroborated  to  a  certain  extent  from  the  following  facts : 
In  the  year  1851,  on  the  west  bank  of  Feather  River,  a  few 
miles  distant  from  where  these  half-breeds  resided,  a  stone 
was  found  of  a  reddish  gray  color,  about  ten  inches  in  length, 
four  inches  in  width  and  one  inch  thick,  on  which  were  en- 
graved the  following  letters  and  figures :  "  1818 — Gold  cave, 
in  this  M.  Ship — Lodes,  L.  M."  Whether  the  Scotchman 
referred  to,  in  his  rambles  in  that  early  day,  placed  the  in- 
scription there  after  having  discovered  lodes  of  gold,  hoping 
that  at  some  future  day  it  might  be  instrumental  in  making 
known  his  fate  to  his  friends,  will  doubtless  ever  remain  an 
unsolved  myster3^  The  stone  may  be  seen  at  any  time  at 
the  rooms  of  the  California  Pioneer  Association  at  San 
Francisco.  Taking  this  circumstance  in  connection  with 
the  fact  that  the  half-breeds  were  actually  discovered  as 
above  related,  we  are  inclined  to  the  belief  that  there  is 
something  in  the  story.  If  but  little  truth,  there  is  at  least 
a  good  deal  of  romance.  But  to  return  to  Mr.  Gordon. 
He  was  born  in  Ohio  in  the  year  1800,  while  that  State  was 
yet  a  Territory,  and  much  of  it  a  vast,  uninhabited  wilder- 
ness. In  his  earliest  infancy,  being  thus  accustomed  to 
frontier  life,  love  of  adventure  became  his  ruling  passion, 
and  now,  at  the  age  of  threescore  years  and  ten,  he  is  never 
happier  than  when  with  his  favorite  rifle  he  is  roaming  over 
the  mountains  in  pursuit  of  wild  game,  and  but  few  young 
men  are  able  to  cope  with  him  in  the  chase.  At  an  early 
age  he  emigrated  to  the  Territory  of  Missouri,  and  before 
he  was  twenty-three  years  of  age  he  went  to  New  Mexico, 
and  became  a  citizen  of  that  country,  and  though  he  relig- 
iously adhered  to  her  laws  and  never  uttered  a  disloyal  sen- 
timent or  cherished  an  unkind  thought  towards  his  adopted 
government,  we  shall  see  that  the  familiar  couplet — 

' '  Of  all  the  lands  from  East  to  West, 
I  love  my  native  laud  the  best," 


8  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

Would  have  been  as  appropriate  a  quotation  with  him  as 
with  others. 

For  the  jDurpose  of  effecting  permanent  settlements  in 
California  and  perpetuating  the  dominions  of  Mexico  over 
that  territory,  the  Mexican  Government  had  provided, 
upon  certain  prescribed  conditions,  for  making  very  liberal 
grants  of  land  to  actual  settlers  in  this  country.  Amongst 
the  conditions  upon  which  these  lauds  were  granted  we  may 
note  the  following:  The  applicant  was  required  to  be  a 
Mexican .  citizen,  either  native  or  adopted,  or  must  have 
married  a  Mexican  wife  (in  which  case  the  land  was  granted 
in  the  name  of  the  wife).  He  was  required  to  reduce  the 
land  to  actual  occupancy,  either  by  cultivation  or  grazing; 
must  erect  a  dwelling-house  of  prescribed  value  and  dimen- 
sions on  every  square  league ;  must  maintain  a  good  reputa- 
tion, possess  a  good  moral  character,  and  if  he  acquired 
his  land  by  the  means  of  marrying  one  of  the  daughters  of 
Mexico,  he  must  provide  well  for  his  family  and  suj)ply  all 
their  reasonable  wants,  if  Avithin  his  power  to  do  so. 

Mr.  Gordon's  love  of  adventure  and  the  inducements  thus 
held  out  by  the  Mexican  Government,  prompted  him,  early 
in  the  spring  of  1841,  after  having  secured  a  grant  of  two 
square  leagues  of  land  (three  miles  in  width  and  six  in 
length),  to  invest  his  limited  means  in  a  few  head  of  stock 
cattle  and  some  horses  and  start  with  a  party  of  men  over- 
land to  California. 

In  this  party  were  Mr.  Gordon,  who  now  resides  in  Lake 
County;  Messrs.  Workman  and  lloberts,  who  now  reside  at 
Los  Angeles;  Mr.  William  Knight,  who  subsequently  set* 
tied  at  Knight's  Landing,  in  this  county,  and  died  at 
Knight's  Ferry,  on  the  Stanislaus  River,  in  what  is  now 
Stanislaus  County,  in  1849  or  1850.  There  were  in  the  party 
four  heads  of  families,  the  whole  consisting  of  twenty-five 
persons,  of  whose  destinies  we  have  not  been  able  to  learn, 
except  of  those  mentioned  above. 

Late  in  the  fall  of  1841  this  little  party,  after  having 
traversed  a  country  almost  unknown  to  civilization  for  many 
long  and  weary  months,  with  nothing  to  disturb  the  monot- 
ony of  their  toils,  arrived  at  an  old  mission  opposite  San 
Diego,  where  they  took  up  their  winter  quarters.     In  the 


HISTORY  OP  YOLO  COUNTY.  V 

spring  of  1842  the  party  separated;  Mr.  Kniglit  returned  to 
Mexico  to  procure  a  wife  and  a  grant  of  land,  and  Mr.  Gor- 
don and  his  family  pushed  forward  with  their  stock  into 
what  is  now  Yolo  County. 

Before  crossing  the  Sacramento  they  went  to  the  quar- 
ters of  Gen.  John  A.  Sutter,  who  had  been  located  there 
about  eighteen  months,  and  had  completed  his  fortifica- 
tions against  the  Indians,  and  who  gave  Mr.  Gordon  and  his 
family  a  cordial  and  hospitable  welcome.  But  they  did  not 
remain  many  days  at  the  fort  before  they  crossed  the  Sac- 
ramento and  settled  on  what  is  to  this  day  known  as  the 
Gordon  Grant,  about  ten  miles  west  from  the  present  flour- 
ishing town  of  Woodland.  Here  Mr.  Gordon  and  his 
family  resided  the  best  part  of  a  year  before  there  were  any 
other  inhabitants  of  what  is  now  Yolo  County. 

His  time  was  spent  in  trapping  beaver  and  dressing  their 
pelts,  hunting  other  wild  game,  such  as  elk,  deer  and  ante- 
lope, preparing  their  hides  for  market,  "jerking"  and  dry- 
ing their  flesh,  herding  his  cattle,  etc.,  not  slaughtering 
any  of  his  domestic  animals,  but  suffering  them  to  increase 
as  rapidly  as  their  natures  and  the  prolific  climate  would 
admit  of.  The  supplies  of  his  family  consisted  princi- 
pally of  wild  game,  and  Mr.  Gordon  informs  us  that  this 
was  the  happiest  year  of  his  life. 

When  he  was  on  his  way  from  Mexico  he  first  heard  of 
the  conflict  of  arms  in  Texas,  which  resulted  in  her  inde- 
pendence and  final  annexation  to  the  United  States,  and 
was  a  part  of  that  series  of  events  that  brought  about  the 
acquisition  of  California  by  the  United  States  and  the  set- 
tlement of  Mr.  Gordon's  immediate  neighborhood  by  peo- 
ple from  his  native  land. 

It  was  not  the  fate  of  Mr.  Gordon  long  to  remain  without 
neighbors,  though  they  were  not  located  so  near  him  as  to 
be  particularly  troublesome.  They  were  as  follows:  Mr. 
Thomas  O.  Larkin,  now  a  resident  of  Monterey,  in  1842 
obtained  and  settled  upon  a  grant  of  five  leagues  of  land, 
where  the  town  of  Colusa  now  stands,  about  fifty-five  miles 
north  of  his  (Gordon's)  residence. 

The  same  year  Mr.  Thoms  settled  on  a  "grant  at  the 
mouth  of  Thoms'  Creek,  about  one  hundred  miles  north  of 


10  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

Colusa,  or  one  hundred  and  fifty  miles  from  Gordon's;  and 
soon  after  Mr.  Shards  located  a  grant  near  Thorns'.  The 
following  year,  in  1843,  a  Mr.  ToomLs  located  at  Napa, 
about  seventy  miles,  and  Mr.  Wolfskill  on  Putah  Creek 
about  twelve  miles  south,  and  William  Knight  about  fifteen 
miles  northeast  from  Gordon's — the  last  two  being  within 
the  limits  of  what  is  now  Yolo  County,  This  for  years 
constituted  the  neighborhood  of  the  early  settlers,  but  in 
1845  Mr.  Hardy  obtained  a  grant  of  eight  leagues  of  land 
adjoining  Gordon's  on  the  east.  But  w^e  should  have  men- 
tioned that  Don  Antonio  Armijo  settled  upon  a  grant  at" 
Suisun  about  forty  miles  south  in  the  year  1841. 

At  an  early  day  one  Berryessa  obtained  a  grant  of  w^hat 
is  now  known  as  Berryessa  Valley,  and  his  brother  located 
a  grant  in  what  is  now  Yolo  County,  and  is  designated  as 
the  Rancho  Canada  de  Oapay  or  Capay  Valley,  which  after- 
wards was  purchased  by  Messrs.  Arnold,  Gillig  &  Ehodes. 
A  man  by  the  name  of  McDowell  settled  M'here  Washington 
now  stands  in  1844  or  1845,  and  established  a  gunsmith 
shop,  where  he  repaired  guns  for  his  neighhors  until  the  dis- 
covery of  gold.  He  was  killed  in  a  drinking  saloon  in  Sac- 
ramento in  1849. 

We  believe  we  have  mentioned  the  names  of  all  the  actual 
settlers  of  the  county  previous  to  1849  (though  there  were 
numbers  of  adventurers  traveling  through  who  temporarily 
sojourned  with  the  settlers).  Let  us  turn  our  attention  to 
their  avocations. 

From  the  date  of  these  first  settlements  until  about  the 
time  of  the  discovery  of  gold,  money  was  comparatively 
unknown  to  the  stock-men  and  grantholders.  The  few 
heads  of  cattle  that  had  been  driven  here  had  increased  to 
herds  of  thousands.  Elk  had  been  slain  by  thousands,  and 
their  hides,  which  were  worth  four  dollars  each,  prepared 
for  market.  Innumerable  beavers  were  also  captured, 
whose  hides  in  barter  were  of  the  value  of  about  six  dol- 
lars each.  The  vast  herds  of  cattle  were  watched  and 
attended  by  Indians  under  a  species  of  peonage,  as  they 
were  forced  away  from  their  "tribes  and  compelled  to  per- 
form these  services,  but  received  as  a  compensation  about 
six  dollars  per  month  in  whatever  articles  the  employers 


iHSTOEY  OF  YOLO  COUNTY.  11 

could  dispense  with.  There  were  no  courts  in  the  countr}^, 
and  none  were  needed,  for  there  were  no  crimes  committed 
and  no  commercial  contracts  to  be  violated.  What  books  the 
settlers  had  brought  with  them  had  been  read  and  re-read 
until  every  page  was  memorized.  Very  small  patches  of 
corn  had  been  produced  and  ground  in  a  hand-mill  and 
prepared  for  food.  Stockmen  had  imported  some  thorough- 
bred animals  as  early  as  1844,  for  the  purpose  of  improving 
their  breeds.  Mr.  Gordon,  in  1844,  purchased  two  Berk- 
shire sows  and  their  families,  whose  increase  amounted  to 
large  droves.  He  gave  for  the  sows  two  fine  horses,  and 
before  the  gold  discovery  he  sold  from  these  a  large  num- 
ber of  brood  sows  at  one  hundred  dollars  each. 

A  short  time  previous  to  the  discovery  of  gold,  these 
scattered  settlers  had  commenced  a  rapid  accumulation  of 
money.  Their  families  were  well  clothed  and  well  fed; 
their  Indian  serfs  lived  in  luxury.  No  bar-room  broils  and 
gambling  bickerings  were  known;  no  jails  and  penitentia- 
ries were  required;  no  public  hospital  in  which  the  poor 
were  cared  for,  because  there  were  no  poor  to  be  thus  sup- 
ported; there  were  no  disputes  about  landmarks  and  no 
neighborhood  babblings.  Peace  and  quiet  reigned  supreme. 
Why  should  not  the  people  hai^e  been  happy  ? 

The  reader  may  pause  to  imagine  from  what  source  these 
settlers  had  derived  their  surplus  money — where  was  the 
market  for  the  thousands  of  cattle,  elk  and  beaver  hides,  we 
hav-e  mentioned?  Whence  came  the  thoroughbred  cattle 
and  swine  ?  How  were  the  clothing  and  provisions  obtained 
that  families  possessed  in  such  abundance  ?  We  answer, 
hide-dealers  or  traders  came  regularly  with  their  trading 
ships  to  San  Francisco  (where  there  were  but  two  or  three 
adobe  houses  in  1841);  thence  they  would  send  out  their 
ships'  launches  with  cargoes  up  the  streams  and  sloughs 
and  exchange  them  for  the  produce  of  the  country,  such  as 
hides,  furs,  tallow  and  dried  meat,  and  occasionally  some 
live  stock. 

About  the  time  these  traders  were  expected  (and  they 
came  very  regularly),  the  slaughter  of  the  herds  began; 
hides  .  were  cured,  tallow  rendered  and  the  meat  dried. 
Then  rude  trucks  9y  carts  were  loaded  with  the  products

and  drawn  by  oxen  to  tlie  rivers  or  sloughs,  where  the 
ships'  launches  could  reach  them,  and  there  exchanges  were 
eJBfected.  The  nominal  prices  of  the  exports  that  they  there 
obtained  were  about  as  follows:  Cattle  hides,  two  dollars; 
elk  hides,  four  dollars;  beaver  hides,  six  dollars;  dried 
meats  and  tallow,  ten  cents  per  pound.  For  these  the  set- 
tlers received  in  exchange  clothing  of  any  desired  quality, 
flour,  rice,  tobacco,  sugar,  tea,  coffee,  salt,  spices,  dried 
fruits,  and,  in  short,  everything  in  the  line  of  clothing  or 
provisions  that  their  necessities  required. 

After  a  few  years  the  settlers  were  able  to  export  more 
than  enough  to  pay  for  their  required  imports,  and  the  bal- 
ance they  received  in  cash,  and  thus  before  the  mines  were 
discovered  had  commenced  accumulating  actual  cash. 

We  will  here  relate  a  few  disconnected  incidents,  and 
then  pass  on  to  a  later  period  in  our  history.  .  In  March, 
1847,  a  man  by  the  name  of  Joseph  Buzzle  started  in  a 
canoe  from  Sutter's  Fort,  in  Sacramento  County,  paddled 
his  canoe  across  the  Sacramento  Biver,  across  the  country 
in  the  County  of  Yolo,  and  to  the  very  door  of  Mr.  Gor- 
don's dwelling,  ten  miles  west  of  Woodland — an  incident 
destitute  of  interest  to  persons  unacquainted  with  the  coun- 
try, but  of  astounding  interest  to  many  of  the  present  set- 
tlers. 

In  June,  1846,  the  owners  of  the  Eancho  Canada  de 
Capay  had  not  yet  asserted  their  rights  thereto,  and  those 
few  persons  who  were  temporarily  stopping  in  what  is  ^ow 
Yolo  County,  had  no  knowledge  of  the  claim.  Mr.  W.  L. 
Todd,  now  a  resident  of  the  county,  a  AVilliam  W.  Rou- 
lette, with  his  wife,  one  G.  J.  Scott  and  his  brother,  W. 
W.  Scott,  built  a  cabin  on  that  grant.  We  have  said  that 
Don  Antonio  Armijo  Avas  a  grautholder  at  Suisun;  he  had 
produced  a  few  acres  of  wheat,  and  as  he  had  no  means 
of  harvesting  it,  except  by  cutting  it  by  hand  with  knives, 
he  with  a  few  men  went  to  the  cabin  above  referred  to, 
stopped  for  the  night,  got  Todd  and  Scott  to  reinforce  his 
party — in  all  consisting  of  thirteen  persons — and  went  to 
Grand  Island  to  capture  some  Indians  to  harvest  his  wheat. 
When  this  object  was  accomplished,  on  their  return  they 
stopped  at  Mr.  Gordon's  residence.     At  this  time  the  war 


HISTORY  OF  YOLO  COUNTY.  13 

was  raging  between  the  United  States  and  Mexico,  but  not 
a  blow  had  yet  been  struck  in  California. 

General  Vallejo  was  in  command  of  a  company  of  five 
Mexican  soldiers  at  Sonoma.  When  Don  Armijo  arrived  at 
Gordon's  with  his  party,  some  of  them  were  informed  by 
him  (Gordon)  that  Captain  Merritt  had  started  from  the 
"Buttes,"  and  on  the  following  day  would  take  Sonoma; 
but  the  rumor  Avas  withheld  from  Armijo,  on  account  of  his 
being  a  native-born  Mexican  citizen.  The  little  parf^  then 
went  and  joined  Merritt  at  Sonoma;  this  was  the  first  town 
captured  from  the  Mexicans  in  California. 

In  the  capture  of  the  place  General  M.  C.  Vallejo  (sub- 
sequently a  delegate  to  the  State  Constitutional  Convention 
and  member  of  the  first  Legislature  of  California),  Captain 
Don  Salvador  Vallejo,  Colonel  Victor  Pruden,  Don  Jacob 
P.  Leese  and  Don  Julio  Carrello,  were  taken  prisoners  of 
war  and  sent  to  Sutter's  Fort.  On  the  fourteenth  of  June, 
1846,  this  little  handful  of  men  proclaimed  California  a  free 
and  independent  republic,  and  on  that  day  hoisted  their 
flag,  known  as  the  ' '  bear  flag  " ;  this  consisted  of  a  strip  of 
worn-out  cotton  domestic,  furnished  by  Mrs.  Kelley,  bor- 
dered with  red  flannel,  furnished  by  Mrs.  John  Sears,  who 
had  fled  from  some  distant  part  to  Sonoma  for  safety,  upon 
hearing  of  the  war  that  had  been  thus  commenced.  In  the 
center  of  the  flag  was  a  representation  of  a  bear,  en  j^cissant, 
painted  with  Venetian  red,  and  in  one  corner  was  painted  a 
star  of  the  same  color.  Under  the  bear  were  inscribed  the 
words  "  Ptepublic  of  California,"  put  on  with  common  writ- 
ing ink.  This  flag  is  preserved  by  the  California  Pioneer 
Association,  and  may  be  seen  at  their  rooms  in  San  Fran- 
cisco.    It  was  designed  and  executed  by  W.  L.  Todd. 

Subsequently,  the  American  flag  was  substituted  for  the 
"  Bear  flag,"  William  B.  Ide  was  left  in  command  of  a  lit- 
tle garrison  to  guard  Sonoma,  and  most  of  the  company  went 
and  joined  Fremont,  and  with  him  went  on  to  Lower  Cal- 
ifornia. 

When,  subsequently,  the  treaty  of  peace  was  made,  where- 
by California  was  ceded  to  the  United  States,  all  the  grant- 
holders  acquiesced,  and  many,  doubtless,  inwardly  rejoiced, 
but  no  outward  demonstrations  of   joy  were  discoverable, 


14  THE  "WESTEKN  SHORE   G.iZETTEER. 

and   quiet  was  maintained  amongst  the  people,  out  of  re- 
spect to  tlieir  neighbors  of  Mexican  birth. 

When  John  C.  Fremont  was  occupying  California,  about 
the  year  1847,  and  Commodore  Stockton  was  in  the  Terri- 
tory, one  M.  M.  Wambough  was  paymaster,  or  otherwise 
had  possession  of  Stockton's  money,  he  professed  to  have 
been  assailed,  overcome  and  robbed,  by  a  croAvd  of  bandits. 
The  money  was  gone,  but  Wambough  returned,  his  hat  hav- 
ing been  pierced  by  many  bullets.  Subsequently,  and  after 
the  organization  of  the  State  Government,  application  was 
made  to  the  Legislature  for  relief,  and  the  hat  was  brought 
before  that  bod}'  in  proof  of  the  robbery.  It  is  said  that 
the  relief  bill  was  about  to  pass,  when  the  late  David  C. 
JBroderick  rose  in  his  seat  and  holding  the  hat  in  his  hand 
exclaimed:  "  Had  it  not  been  for  a  miraculous  intervention 
of  Providence,  the  assailed  must  necessarily  have  lost  his 
life" — pointing  to  a  hole  on  one  side  of  the  hat  and  then 
upon  the  other  side — "the  bullet  which  entered  here,  passed 
there  through  the  crown  of  the  hat  near  the  band,  and,  had 
not  Providence  caused  the  missile  to  curve  over  the  top  of 
his  head,  it  must  necessarily  have  passed  through  the  cen- 
ter of  the  brain."  The  bill  did  not  pass,  and  it  Avas  subse- 
quently shown  that,  soon  after  the  supposed  robbery, 
Wambough  had  passed  through  Yolo  and  stayed  over  night 
with  Mr.  Gordon,  and  had  attempted  to  exchange  a  large 
amount  of  silver  for  gold,  rendering  probable  that  the  al- 
leged robbery  was  but  a  sham.  We  have  not  examined  the 
legislati>-e  journals  to  ascertain  whether  any  record  of  the 
affair  has  been  preserved,  and  do  not  know  to  what  extent 
this  account  may  be  relied  on.  We  have  related  it  as  we 
received  it. 

III. 

From  1848  to  1870. 

On  the  nineteenth  day  of  Januarj^  1848,  John  A.  Sutter 
and  his  partner,  James  W.  Marshall,  Avere  engaged  in  the 
construction  of  a  saw -mill,  on  the  south  fork  of  the  Ameri- 
can Ptiver,  at  a  place  now  called  Coloma,  in  El  Dorado 
County,   about   forty-five   miles    eastward  from  where  the 


HISTORY  OF  YOLO  COUNTY.  15 

City  of  Sacramento  now  stands.  On  tliat  day  Mr.  Marshall, 
wlio  yet  resides  at  Coloma,  was  engaged  in  removing  ob- 
structions from  the  mill-race,  when  he  made  the  first  dis- 
covery of  gold  in  California  of  which  we  have  any  account. 
There  was  no  mistaking  the  character  of  the  mineral  dis- 
covered. 

Mr,  Marshall  knew  it  to  be  gold.  He  very  correctly 
judged  that  if  the  fact  were  revealed  to  his  employees,  that 
all  other  business  would  be  abandoned  for  the  pursuit  of 
gold.  He  attempted  to  keep  the  discovery  a  secret,  for  a 
time,  but  it  was  found  in  too  great  abundance — the  secret 
could  not  be  kept.  The  intelligence  was  soon  conveyed  to 
the  scattered  inhabitants  of  the  Territory  of  California,  and 
then  the  gold  excitement  had  fairly  commenced.  It  is  hardly 
probable  that  Mr.  Marshall,  on  the  morning  of  the  nine- 
teenth of  January,  1848,  had  ever  imagined  that  he,  on  that 
day,  was  to  be  made  the  instrument  that  should  revolution- 
ize the  commercial  world;  that  he  should  make  a  discovery 
that  would  be  the  direct  cause  of  uniting  the  Atlantic  and 
Pacific  Oceans  with  bands  of  iron;  that  should,  in  time, 
be  a  commercial  highway  for  all  parts  of  the  earth,  popu- 
late three-fourths  of  the  Continent,  open  a  commerce  with 
the  Continent  of  Asia,  with  South  America  and  the  Islands 
of  the  Pacific,  unprecedented  with  them;  that  should  send 
to  the  American  shores  men  of  every  clime,  whose  national 
characters  and  love  of  home,  under  any  other  imaginable 
circumstances,  would  have  impelled  them  to  remain  in  their 
native  lands.     But  such  was  the  fact. 

News  of  the  wonderful  discovery  was  carried,  as  if  by 
magic,  to  all  parts  of  the  civilized  world,  and  became  the 
topic  of  conversation  in  every  family  and  social  circle,  and 
the  theme  of  speculation  amongst  capitalists  and  commer- 
cial men. 

The  inhabitants  of  Yolo,  from  twenty-five  to  thirty  in 
number,  all  went  in  search  of  gold,  and  these  rich  agricul- 
tural regions  were  depopulated.  Discoveries  followed  each 
other  in  quick  succession,  until  the  vast  fields  of  placer  gold 
mines  were  developed.  Merchants  and  speculators  saw 
that  the  nearest  points  to  the  gold  mines  upon  navigable 
streams  would  inevitably  be  the  sites  of  future  towns  and 


16  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

cities,  or,  in  otlier  words,  that  the  heads  of  navigation  were 
the  most  feasible  localities  for  furnishing  supplies  to  the 
mining  communities. 

For  the  supply  of  the  rich  placers  on  the  American  and 
its  branches,  the  point  where  Sacramento  City  was  located 
was  the  most  accessible.  In  the  same  year  the  rich  placers 
on  Feather  and  Yuba  rivers  were  developed,  and  fortunate 
indeed  would  be  the  man  who  should  discover  and  secure 
tlie  town  site,  most  accessible  to  those  mines,  that  could  at 
the  same  time  be  reached  by  vessels  of  fair  tonnage.  At 
this  time,  as  we  have  remarked,  the  few  settlers  of  what  is 
now  Yolo  County,  had  left  for  the  mines.  At  a  point  on 
the  Sacramento  Eiver,  where  the  Feather  Kiver  empties  into 
that  stream,  was  the  head  of  navigation.  Here  the  Feather 
Biver  was  fordable. 

This  was  the  nearest  point  to  the  mines  of  Feather  Eiver 
and  the  Yuba  that  could  be  reached  by  vessels  of  sufficient 
size  to  supply  their  wants.  Here,  on  the  Yolo  side  of  the 
Sacramento,  the  land  was  high,  and  furnished  an  inviting 
locality  for  a  town.  As  this  place,  which  is  now  called 
Fremont,  occupies  a  conspicuous  place  in  the  history  of 
Yolo  County,  we  shall  speak  of  its  settlement,  of  its  pro- 
gress and  final  fall,  with  such  incidents  as  are  immediately 
connected  therewith,  without  attempting,  in  the  same  con- 
nection, to  keep  in  view  other  contemporaneous  occur- 
rences of  the  county. 

1849. 

About  the  first  of  March,  1849,  Mr.  Jonas  Spect  freighted 
a  small  schooner  with  merchandise  at  San  Francisco,  and 
sailed  for  the  head  of  navigation  on  the  Sacramento,  for 
the  purpose  of  establishing  a  trading  post,  from  which  the 
mining  communities  on  the  head  waters  of  that  stream  and 
on  Feather  and  Yuba  rivers  and  their  tributaries,  might 
obtain  their  supplies.  He  found  that  point  on  the  Sacra- 
mento Eiver,  at  the  mouth  of  Feather  Eiver,  and  named 
the  place  Fremont.  It  was  not  without  difliculty  that  this 
point  was  reached.  He  was  about  twenty  days  sailing  from 
San  Francisco  to  Sacramento.  On  the  twentieth  of  that 
month,  having  arrived  at  the  latter  place,  he  started  over- 


HISTORY  OF  YOLO   COUNTY.  17 

land,  in  advance  of  his  vessel,  and  on  tlie  twenty-first  ar- 
rived at  the  point  we  have  mentioned.  On  the  next  day 
the  schooner  arrived.  The  day  following  he,  with  his  men> 
built  his  business  stand,  composed  partly  of  willows  and 
in  part  of  canvas  brought  for  that  purpose,  in  w^hich  his 
goods,  wares  and  merchandise,  were  placed.  And  he,  then 
the  only  inhabitant  of  Yolo  County  there,  on  the  twenty- 
fifth  day  of  March,  1849,  in  the  tabernacle  thus  constructed, 
commenced  the  joint  business  of  merchandising  and  hotel 
keeping.  This  trading  post  and  hotel  soon  attracted  not 
only  the  attention  of  the  mining  communities  referred  to, 
but  of  capitalists  and  speculators. 

There  was  every  prospect  of  the  town  becoming  a  city 
second  to  none  in  importance  in  the  interior ^of  the  embryo 
State  of  California.  Before  another  building  had  been 
erected  the  place  was  visited  by  Samuel  Brannan,  "William 
McD.  Howard,  Lieutenant  Maynard,  and  hosts  of  others, 
who  afterwards  became  notable  Califomians.  It  was  confi- 
dently believed  that  Fremont  would  ever  remain  the  head 
of  navigation  on  the  Sacramento  Elver,  and  that  Feather 
Eiver  w^ould  ever  become  navigable,  was  not  dreamed  of. 

Although  the  town-site  was  embraced  within  the  "  Harbin 
Grant/'  such  estimate  was  placed  upon  the  rights  of  Mr. 
Spect  and  Mr.  T.  B.  Winston  (the  latter  having  become  as- 
sociated with  the  former),  that  William  McD.  Howard,  as 
agent  for  the  firm  of  Melius,  Howard  &  Co.,  visited  Fre- 
mont and  offered  them  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dol- 
lars in  gold  for  their  town-site  privileges.  .  Prior  to  the 
settlement  of  the  town  by  Mr.  Spect,  a  camp  of  Indians 
had  located  there,  and  the  crossing  of  the  Sacramento 
Eiver  was  effected  by  the  use  of  a  skiff  and  some  canoes. 
Wagons  were  crossed  by  placing  an  Indian  canoe  under 
each  wheel,  and  then  paddled  across  by  the  Indians.  Feather 
Eiver  was  then  fordable  at  its  mouth;  teamsters  and  packers 
could  take  their  supplies  thence  on  either  side  to  the  mines. 

The  first  material  augmentation  of  population  was  by  an 
emigration  from  Oregon,  headed  by  a  Mr.  John  E.  Bradley, 
now  a  resident  of  Santa  Clara,  a  Cumberland  Presbyterian 
preacher,  who  preached  to  the  new  settlement  regTilarly  for 
several  weeks.  Families  came  across  the  plains  and  located

there.  In  July,  18-19,  a  corps  of  civil  engineers  arrived 
from  tlie  State  of  Louisana,  amongst  whom  was  William  J. 
Frieson,  a  native  of  South  Carolina,  now  a  resident  and 
flourishing  farmer  of  this  county,  residing  near  Knight's 
Landing.  During  this  season  large  immigrations  arrived 
from  the  Atlantic  States;  Fremont  continued  to  grow  in 
importance;  mercantile  houses  were  becoming  plentiful; 
drinking  saloons  were  established;  gambling  houses  were 
abundant;  and,  though  there  were  no  courts,  no  Territorial, 
State  or  County,  organizations,  the  legal  profession  had  its 
representative  there,  who  advertised  to  attend  to  the  duties 
of  his  profession — C.  P.  Hester,  Esq. — who  since  has  been 
Judge  of  the  District  Court  of  the  Third  Judicial  District. 
Dr.  K.  W.  Murphy,  now  of  Sacramento  City,  was  the  first 
to  commence  the  practice  of  medicine. 

Early  in  the  spring  of  1849,  Miss  Matilda  McCord,  of  Bloom- 
ington,  Indiana,  opened  the  first  school.  The  first  regu- 
lar church  was  established  by  Rev.  Isaac  Owen,  a  missionary 
preacher  from  Indiana.  On  the  twenty-second  of  February, 
1819,  the  Avhaling  ship  William  Henry  sailed  from  New 
Bedford,  Massachusetts,  having  on  board  two  buildings 
and  a  cargo  of  goods  belonging  to  a  company  of  thirty  men. 
In  September,  1849,  they  arrived  in  San  Francisco.  Apart 
of  the  company,  with  a  supply  of  the  goods  and  one  of  the 
buildings,  Avere  sent  to  Fremont;  they  purchased  a  town 
lot  for  one  thousand  dollars  and  erected  the  building,  and 
commenced  business.  C.  H.  Gray  (for  several  years  Sheriff 
of  the  county)  and  H.  B.  Wood,  now  partners  in  the  hard- 
ware business  in  Woodland,  were  members  of  this  company. 
Six  of  the  company  died  with  the  cholera  in  1850,  at  Beni- 
cia.     All  trace  of  the  remainder  of  them  is  lost. 

About  this  time  a  ship  arrived  at  Fremont  from  Bangor, 
Maine,  having  on  board  the  steamer  Governor  Dana  and  a 
largo  cargo  of  goods.  The  company  erected  an  extensive 
mercantile  house,  and  placed  it  under  the  supervision  of  the 
late  Henry  Hare  Hartley,  subsequently  County  Judge,  and 
at  a  later  day  a  candidate  for  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court. 

In  October,  1849,  a  company  of  Government  troops,  with 
a  supply  train,  passed  through  the  place  on  their  way  to 
Benicia.     One  of  the  soldiers  entered  a  gambling  saloon, 


HISTORY   OF  YOLO   COUNTY.  19 

became  intoxicated  and  somewhat  abusiye,  and  was  killed 
by  a  gambler.  This  was  the  first  homicide  committed  in 
Yolo, County.  The  gambler  was  not  arrested,  and  no  par- 
ticular excitement  arose  from  the  transaction. 

The  town  of  Fremont  now  contained  a  population  esti- 
mated by  some  as  high  as  three  thousand,  though  this  is 
probably  an  over-estimate.  Among  those  who  were  resi- 
dents there,  and  who  have  since  become  generally  known 
throughout  the  State,  may  be  mentioned  the  late  Humphrey 
Griffith;  the  late  H.  H  Hartley,  already  mentioned;  Charles 
F.  Eeed,  late  candidate  for  Surveyor-General,  and  I.  N. 
Hoag,  Esq.,  long  Secretary  of  the  State  Agricultural  Soci- 
ety. It  will  be  remembered  that,  up  to  the  time  referred 
to,  there  was  no  State  Government,  and,  of  course,  no 
county  organization. 

After  the  treaty  with  Mexico,  by  which  this  State  was 
ceded  to  the  United  States,  the  Commanding  General  of  the 
Department — Brigadier-'General  Eiley — in  accordance  with 
instructions  from  the  Secretary  of  War,  by  authority  of  the 
President  of  the  United  States,  became  the  Governor  of 
the  State,  for  the  purpose  of  administering  its  civjl  affairs. 
It  is  an  established  principle  that,  when  territory  is  acquired 
by  a  foreign  power,  the  laws  of  the  Government  from  which 
it  is  acquired  remain  in  force  until  other  la'i^  are  enacted 
by  the  Government  acquiring  such  territory;  hence  the  laws 
of  Mexico  w^ere  those  in  force  in  this  country  until  the  ma- 
chinery of  our  own  civil  jurisprudence  should  be  put  in 
operation.  Under  the  laws  referred  to  the  State  was  di- 
vided into  ten  districts,  one  of  which  was  denominated  the 
Sonoma  District,  and  embraced  all  that  part  of  the  State 
bounded  by  the  sea',  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco  and  Suisun, 
the  Sacramento  Biver  and  Oregon,  and,  of  course,  included 
Yolo  County, 

The  principal  officers  in  each  of  these  districts  were  a 
Prefect  and  sub-Prefects,  who  were  charged  with  the  preser- 
vation of  public  order  and  the  execution  of  the  laws.  Their 
duties,  to  some  extent,  corresponded  with  the  duties  of 
Sheriffs  and  Marshals,  a  Judge  of  the  First  Instance  and  a 
District  Alcalde.  This  system  of  government  could  not 
long  remain  in  a  land  then  being  rapidly  populated  with 


20  THE  WTilSTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

American  citizens.  On  the  third  of  June,  1849,  General 
Eiley  issued  a  proclamation  calling  a  Convention,  to  meet 
at  Monterey  on  the  first  day  of  September,  to  frame  a  State 
Constitution.  By  that  proclamation  it  was  provided  that 
the  Convention  should  consist  of  thirty-seven  delegates,  four 
of  whom  should  be  chosen  from  the  Sonoma  District.  Elec- 
tions were  to  be  held  for  that  purpose  on  the  first  day  of 
August,  at  sixteen  designated  places  in  the  State,  as  fol- 
lows: San  Diego,  San  Juan  Capistrano,  Los  Angeles,  San

Luis  Obispo,  Monterey,  San  Juan  Baptiste,  Santa  Cruz, 
San  Jos6  de  Guadalupe,  San  Francisco,  San  Rafael,  Bodega, 
Sonoma  and  Benicia. 

The  elections  were  held,  and  the  Convention  met  in  pur- 
suance of  the  proclamation,  and  completed  its  labors  on 
the  thirteenth  of  October.  The  delegates  in  that  Conven- 
tion, from  the  Sonoma  District,  were  J.  Walker,  R.  Semple, 
L.  W.  Boggs  and  M.  G.  Vallejo. 

Immediately  thereafter,  by  proclamation  of  Governor 
Eiley,  an  election  was  called  for  the  fifteenth  of  November, 
to  vote  upon  the  adoption  of  the  Constitution  and  the  elec- 
tion of  officers,  in  pursuance  of  its  provisions.  This  proc- 
lamation designated  as  the  places  for  holding  said  election 
the  same  as  those  mentioned  for  the  election  of  delegates 
to  the  Constitutional  Convention  ;  but  the  fast  young  town 
of  Fremont  was  not  content  to  have  the  election  pass  with- 
out letting  its  voice  be  heard.  Accordingly,  on  election 
morning,  the  polls  were  opened  at  that  place,  and  there 
were  nearly  twice  as  many  votes  cast  as  in  all  the  rest  of 
the  Sonoma  District;  but  the  votes  were  not  finally  esti- 
mated. The  members  of  the  Legislature  then  elected  con- 
vened on  the  fifteenth  day  of  December,  1849,  and  then 
organized  the  first  Legislature  of  the  State  of  California. 

At  this  session  of  the  Legislature,  the  Sonoma "  District 
was  represented  in  the  Assembly  by  J.  E.  Brackett  and  J. 
S.  Bradford,  and  in  the  Senate,  we  believe,  by  Jonas  Spect 
and  M.  G.  Vallejo;  but,  upon  this  point,  we  do  not  speak 
with  certainty,  having  no  documents  at  hand  from  which 
we  can  satisfactorily  determine  the  facts. 

At  this  session  of  the  Legislature,  Yolo  County  was  given

an  existence  and  a  name.  And  liere  we  may  observe  to  the 
curions  that  "  Yolo"  and  "  Tulare"  have  the  same  origin, 
and  are  identical  in  meaning.  Members  of  the  first  Legis- 
lature probably  knew  but  little  about  Yolo  County,  except 
that  portion  bordering  on  the  river,  abounding  in  "tules," 
expressed  by  the  Spanish  word  "  tulare  "  or  "  tular  " — this 
word  the  Indians  had  corrupted  to  "yolar."  Accordingly, 
when  the  county  was  organized  by  an  Act  of  the  Legisla- 
ture, passed  February  18th,  1850,  it  was  organized  under 
the  name  of  "  Yolii "  (statutes  of  1850,  page  61),  but  we 
have  not  learned  how  it  happened  afterwards  to  be  written  ' 
Yolo. 

By  the  Act  organizing  the  County  of  "  Yolii,"  the  county 
seat  was  established  at  Fremont.  The  legislative  Acts  of 
the  first  session,  having  direct  efi'ect  upon  Yolo  County, 
were  as  follows :  By  Act  of  March  16th,  dividing  the  State 
into  Judicial  Districts,  it  provided  that  the  Eighth  District 
should  be  composed  of  the  counties  of  Yolo,  Sutter  and 
Yuba.  The  first  term  of  this  court  for  Yolo  County  was 
held  at  Fremont,  on  the  second  day  of  September,  1850, 
W.  R.  Turner,  District  Judge.  The  first  case  upon  the 
calendar  is  an  indictment  against  Emma  Place.  The  Dis- 
trict Attorney  stated  that  the  witnesses  could  not  be  found, 
and  the  court,  upon  its  own  motion,  ordered  the  case  dis- 
missed. The -first  case  upon  the  civil  docket  was  Austin  & 
Johnson  against  Conwillard  and  others.  The  last  term  of 
the  District  Court  held  in  this  county  by  Judge  Turner  was 
on  the  second  day  of  October,  1850,  for  the  reason  that  the 
State  was  soon  after  re-districted,  as  we  shall  presently  see. 

By  an  Act  passed  April  4th,  1850,  dividing  the  State  into 
Senatorial  Districts,  it  was  provided  that  the  Eleventh  Dis- 
trict should  be  composed  of  Yolo,  Marin,  Sonoma,  Napa, 
Solano,  Mendocino,  Colusa  and  Trinity,  and  should  elect 
one  Senator,  and  that  Yolo,  Colusa  and  Trinity  combined, 
should  elect  one  member  of  Assembly. 

By  an  Act  of  March  2d,  1850,  it  was  provided  that  an 
election  should  be  held  on  the  first  Monday  of  April  in 
each  of  the  counties  of  the  State,  for  the  purpose  of  elect- 
ing county  officers.  Of  this  election  the  county  records 
afford  us  no  information;  but,  from  court  records  of  that 


22  THE  WESTERN  SHOEE  GAZETTEER. 

year,  we  learn  that  Judge  G.  A.  Marguam,  now  of  Port- 
land, Oregon,  was  elected  County  Judge,  and  B.  Frank 
Brown,  County  Clerk. 

The  Legislature  then  in  session  passed  an  Act,  April  13th, 
1850,  establishing  the  County  Courts;  provided  that  the 
terms  of  said  courts  should  be  held  in  the  months  of  Jan- 
uary, April,  July  and  October;  also  providing  for  the  es- 
tablishment of  Courts  of  Sessions  in  each  county,  composed 
of  the  County  Judge  and  two  Justices  of  the  Peace,  which 
courts  should  hold  their  terms  on  the  first  Mondays  of  Feb- 
ruary, April,  June,  August,  October  and  December,  of  each 
year.  Accordingly,  on  the  first  Monday  of  June,  the  Court 
of  Sessions  met  in  the  town  of  Fremont,  for  the  transaction 
of  business.  There  was  nothing,  however,  of  importance 
came  before  the  court  at  that  session.  Henry  H.  Hartley 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  as  Attorney  and  Counselor  at  Law; 
P.  A.  Marguam  was  the  Judge  of  the  court;  Ferdinand 
Woodward  and  Levi  B.  Austin,  Associate  Justices,  and  B. 
Frank  Brown,  County  Clerk.  The  court  met  again  in 
August,  the  same  officers  being  present. 

Let  it  be  born  in  mind  that  the  Judge  of  the  Court  of 
Sessions  was  also  the  County  Judge.  At  this  August  term 
the  Court  of  Sessions  fixed  the  salary  of  the  County  Judge 
at  four  thousand  dollars  per  annum ;  granted  a  ferry  license, 
and  a  license  to  H.  H.  Hartley  to  act  as  auctioneer  in  Yolo 
County,  and  adjourned.  This  court  met  again  in  Novem- 
ber, the  last  term  for  1850,  and  appointed  G.  M.  Keene  as 
County  Treasurer,  who  was  the  first  Treasurer,  of  the  coun- 
t}^  so  far  as  we  have  been  able  to  learn.  The  County  Court 
met  in  July,  1850,  Marguam  being  present  as  Judge  and 
B.  F.  Brown  as  Clerk.  The  calendar  was  called,  consisting 
of  two  cases,  one  of  which  was  tried  and  the  other  dis- 
missed. The  court  met  again  in  October,  but,  having  no 
busines  before  it,  adjourned.  This  constituted  all  the  busi- 
ness of  the  County  Court  for  the  year  1850. 

A  law  was  passed  on  the  sixteenth  of  April,  1850,  as  fol- 
lows :  ' '  Every  person  who  shall  feloniously  steal,  take  and 
carry,  lead  or  drive  away,  the  personal  goods  or  property  of 
another,  of  the  value  of  fifty  dollars  or  more,  shall  be 
deemed  guilty  of  gi-and  larceny,  and,  upon  conviction  there- 


HISTORY  OF  YOLO   COUNTY.  23 

of,  shall  be  punislied  by  imprisonment  in  the  State  Prison 
for  any  term  not  less  than  one  year  nor  more  than  ten  years, 
or  by  death,  in  the  discretion  of  the  jury."  A  somewhat 
startling  story  is  told  of  a  conviction,  under  the  provisions 
of  this  law,  in  Yolo  County.  It  is  said  (though  not  re- 
corded) that  John  C.  Murphy,  late  Judge  of  Mono  County, 
then  a  resident  of  Yolo,  was  driving  a  mule-team  in  the 
winter  following,  and  got  "  stalled  "  in  the  mud.  He  chanced 
to  be  near  a  corral  of  horses  running  loose,  two  of  which 
he  caught,  harnessed  and  attached  to  his  team,  to  assist  him 
out  of  the  difficulty.  The  horses  chanced  to  be  the  prop- 
erty of  a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  who  arrived  in  time  to  catch 
Murphy  ' '  in  the  very  act. "  He  immediately  issued  a  war- 
rant and  placed  it  in  the  hands  of  a  Constable  for  Murphy's 
arrest.  The  prisoner  was  brought  into  court  and  demanded 
a  jury  trial;  but  the  "  court"  decided  that  the  province  of 
the  jury  was  only  to  determine  the  guilt  or  innocence  of  the 
party,  and  of  the  court  to  pronounce  the  sentence ;  and,  in 
this  instance,  the  "  court"  knew  of  his  own  knowledge  that 
tlie  prisoner  was  guilty,  therefore  a  jury  was  unnecessary. 
The  "court  "  then  ordered  the  Constable  to  take  the  pris- 
oner to  some  convenient  place  and  execute  him  without 
delay.  As  the  sentence  was  about  to  be  carried  into  effect, 
Mr.  A.  McDonald,  subsequently  a  prominent  man  in  the 
county,  arrived  at  the  scene  of  action,  and  prevented  the 
execution.  Whether  this  story  is  all  true,  or  founded  in 
fact,  or  all  false,  we  have  no  knowledge;  we  give  it  as  it 
was  given  to  us  by  one  of  Murphy's  personal  friends,  who 
professed  to  give  us  a  true  version  of  the  affair. 

Let  us  now  turn  our  attention  to  the  commercial  and  busi- 
ness aspects  of  the  county.  The  heavy  floods  of  the  pre- 
vious winter  had  washed  the  bar  from  the  mouth  of  Feather 
River,  and  made  that  stream  navigable  to  the  point  where 
the  City  of  Marysville  is  now  located,  and  opened  up  navi- 
gation of  the  Sacramento  for  more  than  a  hundred  miles 
above.  This  demonstrated  the  fact  that  Fremont  could  not 
become  a  great  inland  commercial  metropolis.  Mining 
communities  immediately  discontinued  obtaining  their  sup- 
plies from  this  j)lace,  and  the  town  commenced  to  decline. 
Still,  hopes  were  entertained  that  the  place  might  continue 


24  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

of  considerable  importance  for  retail  business,  but  eacli 
day  weakened  those  liopes,  and  it  soon  became  apparent 
tliat  Fremont  was  doomed  unless  it  should  remain  the  county 
seat. 

In  the  meantime,  quite  a  settlement  had  been  made  at 
"Washington,  and  the  interior  of  the  county  for  gi-azing  and 
stock-raising  began  to  attract  some  attention.  Yet  the  pop- 
ulation of  the  count}^,  by  the  removals  from  Fremont,  was 
materially  diminished  in  numbers,  so  tliat,  in  the  fall  of 
1850,  a  correspondent  of  a  New  York  paper  had  ranked 
Yolo  County  amongst  the  barren,  worthless  sections  of  the 
State,  it  being  then  believed  that  no  considerable  portion 
of  the  State  could  be  made  available  for  agricultural  pur- 
poses. 

1851. 

The  Legislature  again  convened,  on  the  first  Monday  of 
January,  1851.  The  Eleventh  Senatorial  District,  consist- 
ing of  the  counties  of  Yolo,  Marin,  Sonoma,  Napa,  Solano, 
Mendocino,  Colusa  and  Trinity,  was  represented  in  the  Sen- 
ate by  Martin  E.  Cooke,  and  the  counties  of  Yolo,  Colusa 
and  Trinity,  constituting  one  Assembly  District,  was  repre- 
sented in  that  body  by  George  W.  Crane.  An  election  was 
held  in  Yolo  County  on  the  twenty-fifth  day  of  March,  1851, 
at  which  a  re-location  of  the  county  seat  was  to  be  deter- 
mined, by  a  vote  of  the  qualified  electors  under  the  pro- 
visions of  an  Act  of  the  previous  session.  The  result  of 
the  election  showed  a  majority  in  favor  of  establishing  the 
county  scat  at  Washington. 

Four  weeks  subsequent  to  the  election,  an  Act  was  passed 
in  which  it  was  declared  that  Fremont  should  be  the  county 
seat.  On  the  eleventh  of  March,  the  Judicial  Districts,  by 
legislative  action,  were  re-arranged.  By  this  Act  it  was 
provided  that  the  counties  of  Yolo,  Placer  and  El  Dorado, 
should  constitute  the  Eleventh  Judicial  District.  By  an 
Act,  passed  May  1st,  it  was  provided  that  the  counties  of 
Yolo  and  Colusa  should  constitute  the  Twenty-first  Senato- 
rial District,  and  should  elect  one  Senator  and  each  one 
member  of  the  Assembly. 

On  the  twenty-fourth  of  March,  1851,  G.  M.  Keene  hav- 
ing resigned  the  office  of  County  Treasurer,  H.  H.  Hartley 


HISTORY  OF  YOLO  COUNTY.  25 

was  appointed  by  the  Court  of  Sessions  to  fill  the  vacancy, 
and  Humphrey  Griffith,  Esq.,  was  appointed  County  Assess- 
or. By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  passed  March  23d,  1850, 
it  was  provided  that :  ' '  Whenever  a  special  election  is  nec- 
essary to  fill  a  vacancy  in  any  county  or  township  office,  the 
County  Judge  shall  issue  an  order  for  such  election,  desig- 
nating the  office  to  be  filled  and  the  time  of  holding  the 
election,  and  shall  publish  the  same  in  the  manner  required 
by  the  sixth  section  of  this  Act."  Those  who  had  held  the 
county  offices  in  this  county,  in  the  spring  of  1851,  all  ap- 
peared to  have  left  or  resigned;  and,  since  it  is  certain  that 
no  general  election  was  then  held  in  the  State,  we  may  per- 
haps safely  presume  that  a  special  election  was  held  under 
that  statute;  for,  early  in  that  season,  we  find  E.  A.  Harris 
officiating  as  Sheriff;  G.  M.  Keene,  the  former  Treasurer, 
as  District  Attorney,  and  H.  H.  Hartley  as  County  Judge. 
On  the  twenty-second  of  May,  1851,  the  Court  of  Sessions 
being  open,  made  an  order  as  follows:  "It  is  ordered  by 
the  court  that  the  Seat  of  Justice  of  this  county  shall  be  at 
Fremont — the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  California  having, 
on  the  twenty-fifth  of  April,  1851,  passed  a  law  to  that 
effect,  which  law,  having  been  passed  subsequent  to  the 
election  held  on  the  twenty-fifth  of  March,  1851,  for  the  re- 
moval of  the  county  seat  of  said  county,  annuls  said  elec- 
tion." 

Notwithstanding  this  order,  for  some  cause  there  was 
never  another  term  of  court  held  at  Fremont  after  July  of 
that  year.  And  the  first  session  of  that  court  was  held  at 
Washington,  on  the  eleventh  of  August  following.  Hum- 
phrey Griffith  was  appointed  County  Clerk  by  the  Court  of 
Sessions,  in  July,  1851,  and  continued  to  hold  "that  position 
until  December,  1853,  having  been  elected  at  the  expiration 
of  the  unexpired  term. 

■  During  this  year  permanent  settlement  began  to  be  made 
on  the  farming  lands  of  the  county,  with  a  view  of  raising 
stock,  but  no  attention  was  yet  given  to  the  cultivation  of 
the  soil.  The  first  settlement  of  note  w^as  that  made  by  A. 
H.  Willard,  on  a  portion  of  the  Gordon  Grant.  Settlements 
were  also  made  at  Knight's  Landing  and  at  other  places, 
and  much  attention  began  to  be  given  to  the  production  of 


26  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

cattle.  Tlie  town  of  Fremont  went  down.  Some  of  the 
buildings  were  moved  to  Knight's  Landing,  some  to  Marys- 
ville,  some  to  Sacramento,  and  some  onto  the  plains.  The 
inhabitf^nts  abandoned  their  city  lots  and  dispersed,  and 
nothing  remained  of  the  town  of  Fremont  but  the  name. 

1852. 

In  the  Legislature  that  convened  in  January,  1852,  Yolo 
County  was  represented  in  the  Assembly  by  John  G.  Parish, 
in  the  Senate  by  Martin  E.  Cooke.  The  counties  of  Yolo 
and  Colusa  constituted  one  Senatorial  District. 

It  was  in  1852  that  H.  H.  Hartley  was  elected  County 
Judge;  H.  Griffith,  County  Clerk;  E.  A.  Harris,  Sheriff, 
and  Alexander  Chisholm,  Treasurer.  John  M.  Howell  was 
elected  District  Judge  for  the  Eleventh  Judicial  District, 
composed  of  the  counties  of  Yolo,  Placer  and  El  Dorado. 
But,  of  course,  the  latter  did  not  enter  upon  the  duties  of 
his  office  until  the  commencement  of  the  following  year. 

There  was  nothing  occurred  during  the  year  in  the  gov- 
ernmental affairs  of  the  county  requiring  special  attention. 
The  agricultural  lands  continued  to  be  settled,  and  yet  but 
little  attention  was  paid  to  the  production  of  cereals.  The 
settlements  were  materially  retarded,  in  consequence  of  the 
extensive  Spanish  grants — some  real  and  some  fictitious — 
that  covered  a  large  portion  of  the  lands  of  the  county  that 
were  valuable,  either  for  grazing  or  cultivation.  These  led 
to  troublesome  and  expensive  litigations,  and  were  the 
source  of  constant  turmoils  and  troubles. 

Those  who  had  settled  here  previous  to  the  discovery  of 
gold  in  the  county,  had  encouraged  an  increase  of  their 
herds,  and  the  plains  were  literally  covered  with  cattle. 
Many  new-comers  had  settled  here,  and  it  is  said  to  have 
been  remarkable  with  what  rapidity  their  herds  increased. 
A  story  is  told  of  one  settler,  for  the  strict  truthfulness  of 
which  we  are  not  entirely  willing  to  vouch;  but  it  is  said 
that,  when  he  settled,  he  had  barely  means  to  purchase  a 
single  ox;  that  he  had  no  visible  means  of  support  except 
from  the  increase  of  his  stock;  but  so  incredibly  prolific 
was  the  animal  that,  in  a  little  more  than  one  year,  the  in- 


HISTOKY  or  YOLO   COUNTY.  27 

crease  amounted  to  several  hundred  head  of  yearlings  and 
calves. 

A  man  by  the  name  of  James  had  settled  near  the  foot- 
hills, whose  stock  increased  so  rapidly  that  other  stock- 
growers  became  so  incensed  against  him,  that  they  arrested 
him  and  brought  him  to  trial  before  Judge  Ljmch.  He  was 
found  guilty,  as  charged,  and  sentenced  to  receive  fifty 
lashes  of  a  cowhide  on  his  bare  back,  and  to  banishment 
from  the  county;  he  received  the  lashes  and  left  the  country, 
and  has  not  been  heard  from  since ! 

Our  history  would  not  be  complete  if  we  failed  to  notice 
transactions  in  courts  of  Justices  of  the  Peace  as  well  as  in 
courts  of  more  general  jurisdiction;  but,  as  Justice's  courts 
are  not  deemed,  in  law,  courts  of  record,  the  only  means  of 
knowledge  of  their  transactions  is  hearsay,  and  such  evi- 
dence, if  admissible,  not  being  sufficient  to  convict,  we  give 
it  to  the  reader  for  what  it  is  vrorth.  A  Justice  of  the 
Peace,  of  good  standing  in  the  county,  at  the  time  of  w^hich 
we  are  writing,  had  a  case  before  him  in  which  the  title  to  a 
certain  mule  was  involved.  The  Justice  very  dignifiedly 
informed  the  plaintiff  if  he  would  swear  the  mule  was  his, 
it  should  be  so  adjudged  and  taken  from  the  defendant  and 
delivered  to  him.  "  Well,"  said  the  plaintiff,  "I  will  swear 
that  it  is  my  mule."  "When  you  swear  to  the  mule,"  said 
the  Justice,  '^it  shall  be  delivered  to  you."  "  I  am  ready 
nolo  to  swear  to  its  being  my  mule."  "When  you  do  so 
swear,"  said  the  Justice,  "you  shall  take  the  mule."  "  I  be 
damned  if  it- ain't  my  mule,"  said  the  plaintiff,  "and  by  G — d 
I  am  going  to  have  him."  The  court  considered  the 
evidence  sufficient,  and  adjudged  accordingly. 

1853. 

In  the  Legislature  that  convened  in  January,  1853,  Yolo 
Count}^  was  represented  in  the  Assembly  by  Mr.  Caldwell, 
and  in  the  Senate  the  District  of  Yolo  and  Colusa  was  rep- 
resented by  M.  M.  Wambough.  At  the  commencement  of 
the  year  J.  M.  Howard  entered  upon  the  duties  of  his  office 
as  Judge  of  the  District  Court. 

During  the  session  of  the  Legislature,  May  18th,  1853, 


28  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

an  Act  was  passed  re-districting  the  State,  in  which  it  was 
provided  that  Yolo,  Sohxno  and  Napa,  shoukl  constitute  the 
Tenth  Senatorial  District.  The  county  officers  remained 
the  same  as  the  year  before;  but  at  the  election  held  in 
September,  Harrison  Gwinn,  now  a  flourishing  farmer  re- 
siding near  Knight's  Landing,  was  elected  County  Judge  to 
succeed  Judge  Hartley,  E.  H.  Baskett  was  elected  as  Clerk 
to  succeed  H.  Griffith,  and  J.  TV".  Gish  was  elected  Sheriff, 
and  H.  Meredith  District  Attorney;  all  of  whom  com- 
menced their  official  duties  the  March  following. 

During  this  year  the  settlement  of  the  county  was  more 
rapid  than  formerly,  and  some  attention  began  to  be  given 
to  the  cultivation  of  the  soil,  the  planting  of  some  small 
vineyards  and  orchards,  and  the  fencing  of  farms.  The 
soil  was  found  to  be  of  almost  unequaled  fertility,  but  from 
the  scarcity  of  fencing  material  and  high  prices  of  lumber, 
and  the  fact  of  the  county  being  overrun  with  herds  of 
cattle  and  hogs,  the  production  of  grain  was  not  deemed  a 
very  lucrative  avocation,  especially  when  the  expense  of 
improvements  were  taken  into  consideration. 

1854. 

In  the  Legislature  that  convened  in  January,  1854,  the 
county  was  represented  in  the  Assembly  by  Humphrey 
Griffith,  whose  term  as  County  Clerk  had  just  expired,  and 
the  Tenth  Senatorial  District,  composed  of  the  counties  of 
Yolo,  Solano  and  Napa,  was  represented  in  the  Senate  by 
Senate  by  E.  McGarry. 

On  the  sixth  of  February  of  this  year.  Judge  Hartley  held 
his  last  term  of  court  as  County  Judge  of  this  county.  It 
wi^s  ascertained  that  Alexander  Chisholm,  former  Treas- 
urer, was  defaulter  in  a  large  sum  of  money,  and  on  the 
twelfth  of  August  the  Grand  Jury  of  the  county  presented 
a  bill  against  him  for  fraudulently  retaining  the  money; 
but  the  funds  were  never  recovered,  and  Chisholm  was  not 
convicted  of  any  offense.  His  bonds  were  declared  for- 
feited. 

1855. 

In  the  Legislature  of  1855,  Yolo  County  was  represented 
in  the  Assembly  by  J.  H.  Updergraff,  and  Mr.  E.  McGarry 


HISTORY  OF  YOLO  COUI^TY.  29 

continued  to  represent  tlie  counties  of  Yolo,  Napa  and 
Solano,  in  the  Senate. 

The  county  officers  remained  the  same  as  the  previous 
year;  but  at  the  general  election  in  September,  A.  McDon- 
ald was  elected  County  Clerk;  George  Bell,  Sheriif;  W.  N. 
Brooks,  Treasurer,  and  F.  "Woodward  District  Attorney. 

The  Legislature  passed  an  Act,  May  7th,  1855,  authoriz- 
ing the  qualified  voters  of  the  county,  at  the  general  elec- 
tion to  be  held  in  September,  to  determine  by  a  majority 
vote  upon  some  point  as  a  permanent  place  for  the  county 
seat.  The  contest  was  chiefly  between  Washington  and 
Knight's  Landing.  It  was  a  close  and  excited  election,  but 
the  result  was  in  favor  of  Washington, 

During  this  year  the  agTicultural  interests  of  the  county 
were  greatly  increased,  and  wheat  and  barley  commenced 
to  be  raised  in  considerable  quantities  as  staples,  but  the 
scarcity  of  timber  for  fencing  rendered  it  difficult  and  ex- 
pensive to  protect  the  growing  crops  against  the  encroach- 
ments of  the  herds  of  cattle  and  hogs  running  at  large 
through  the  country  and  prevented  very  extensive  grain- 
growing  operations.  People  began  to  conceive  that  there 
was  a  conflict  of  interest  between  the  grain  producers  and 
cattle  growers;  and  the  still  unsettled  condition  of  the 
grant-lands  rendered  titles  through  the  county  uncertain, 
and  it,  of  course,  was  not  settled  so  rapidly  as  it  otherwise 
would  have  been. 

1856. 

In  the  Legislature  that  met  in  1856,  Yolo  County  was 
represented  in  the  Assembly  by  E.  Bynum,  the  present 
County  Clerk,  and  in  the  Senate  by  his  brother,  S.  Bynum. 
E.  Bynum  was  elected  on  what  was  known  as  the  Demo- 
cratic ticket,  and  S.  Bynum  on  the  ticket  designated  as  the 
Know-No  thing  or  Native  American.  The  contest  for  one 
or  two  years  between  those  two  political  organizations  had 
been  very  close,  but  the  latter  in  the  ascendancy.  E.  By- 
num was  the  only  candidate  elected  on  his  ticket.  The 
county  officers  chosen  at  the  general  election  in  1855,  at 
the  proper  time  assumed  their  official  duties;  but  during 
the  year  the  sureties  upon  the  Sheriff's  bond  became  dis- 


30  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

satisfied  witli  the  manner  in  wliicli  he  performed,  or 
neglected  to  perform,  his  duties,  took  steps  to  withdraw 
their  signatures  from  the  bond,  and  Sheriff  Bell  being 
unable  to  obtain  new  sureties,  the  office  became  vacant,  and 
F.  G.  Eussel,  now  of  Buckeye,  was  appointed  to  fill  the 
vacancy,  which  position  he  held  until  the  expiration  of  the 
term. 

On  the  first  of  March  the  Legislature  passed  an  Act  as 
follows:  "John  Vanarnam,  of  Washington,  Yolo  County,  is 
hereby  released  from  any  and  all  liabilities  incurred  by 
him  as  surety  on  the  official  bond  of  Alexander  Chisholm, 
late  County  Treasurer  of  Yolo  County,  and  is  hereby  fully 
discharged  from  any  and  all  judgments  recovered  against 
him  upon  said  official  bond. 

It  was  a  rule  of  the  District  Court  in  this  county,  up  to 
this  time,  to  set  days  for  hearing  and  determining  motions 
and  demurrers,  and  on  those  days  the  roll  of  attorneys  was 
called  at  the  opening  of  the  court.  It  may  not  be  uninter- 
esting to  those  who  were  in  the  habit  of  attending  the 
courts  at  that  time,  and  to  attorneys  at  the  present  time, 
to  give  here  a  roll,  as  it  was  called  in  1866,  as  follows: 
P.  L.  Edwards,  W.  R.  Cantwell,  H.  H.  Hartley,  H.  Grif- 
fith, Henry  C.  Meredith,  Horace  Smith,  Samuel  Euland, 
James  C.  Goods,  Ferdinand  "Woodward,  William  S.  Long, 
John  Heard,  W.  C.  Wallace,  B.  F.  Ankeny,  George  H.  H. 
Carter,  G.  W.  Bowie,  J.  H.  Gass,  J.  G.  Hyer.  Of  these, 
P.  L.  Edwards,  H.  H.  Hartley,  H.  Griffith,  Henry  C. 
Meredith,  Horace  Smith,  George  H.  Carter,  B.'  F.  Ankeny 
and  John  G.  Hyer,  are  now  deceased.  W.  B.  Cantwell, 
J.  C.  Goods,  F.  Woodward  and  John  Heard,  now  reside  in 
Sacramento;  Bowie  resides  in  San  Francisco;  Wallace  is 
Judge  of  the  Seventh  Judicial  District;  Buland  resides  in 
Woodland;  Gass  broke  Sacramento  jail  and  left  for  parts 
unknown — further  particulars  of  which  may  be  mentioned 
if  we  ever  have  occasion  to  compile  a  history  of  Sacramento 
County. 

1857. 

In  the  year  1857  Yolo  was  represented  in  the  Assembly 
by  Dr.  J.  S.  Curtis,  and  by  S.  Bynum  in  the  Senate. 


HISTORY  OP  YOLO  COUNTY.  31 

Some  years  previous  to  tliis,  James  A.  Hutton,  a  worthy 
and  enterprising  citizen,  had  settled  on  the  north  side  of 
Cache  Creek  and  there  made  himself  a  comfortable  home; 
had  erected  a  dwelling-house  large  enough  to  accommodate 
guests,  and  it  soon  became  not  only  the  home  of  Mr. 
Hutton  and  his  family,  but  the  "  traveler's  home,"  and  was 
designated  through  the  county  as  "  Hutton's  Kanch."  A 
post-office  was  established  by  the  name  of  Yolo  Post-office. 

The  Legislature  passed  an  Act,  on  the  tM^nty-fifth  of 
March,  providing  that  from  and  after  the  first  day  of  June^ 
1857,  the  county  seat  of  the  County  of  Yolo  should  be  and 
thereby  was  changed  from  the  Town  of  Washington  to  a 
place  on  Cache  Creek  before  that  time  known  as  Hutton's, 
but  which  should  be  thereafter  known  as  Cache ville.  In 
May  the  books,  papers,  maps,  records,  etc.,  belonging  to 
the  county  were  transferred  to  the  new  county  seat.  It 
was  in  the  midst  of  the  richest  agricultural  lands  in  the 
State,  pleasantly  situated  on  Cache  Creek,  interspersed 
with  oaks  of  the  largest  growth,  and  was  really  one  of  the 
most  attractive  places  in  the  county.  A  town  was  laid  ofi", 
surveyed  into  lots  and  blocks  which  were  rapidly  disposed 
of,  and  the  town  exhibited  signs  of  permanent  prosj)erity. 
This  ever  should  have  remained  -the  county  seat;  but  we 
shall  see  that  such  was  not  its  destiny. 

The  first  birth  that  occurred  at  Cacheville  was  the  Yolo 
Democrat,  a  small,  weakly — weekly — journal,  that  was  born 
almost  to  blush  unseen;  for  a  newspaper  could  not  yet  be 
supported  in  so  sparsely  settled  a  county  as  was  Yolo  County. 
Of  the  merits  of  the  paper  we  know  nothing,  but  only 
know  that  it  shared  the  fate  of  most  journals  established 
under  like  circumstances.  It  lived  to  see  its  second  birth- 
day, just  began  to  speak  understandingiy,  then  died  and 
was  buried. 

The  terms  of  the  county  officers  elected  two  3^ears  before, 
of  course,  were  now  about  to  expire;  and  H.  Gwinn's  four- 
year  term  as  County  Judge  was  also  about  to  close. 

At  the  general  election  in  September,  Isaac  Davis  was 
elected  as  County  Judge;  the  Eev.  J.  N.  Pendegast,  County 
Clerk;  James  L.  Cox,  Sheriff;  "William  H.  McGrew,  Dis- 


32  THE  WESTERN  SHORE   GAZETTEER. 

trict  Attorney,  and  W.  N.  Brooks  was  re-elected  County 
Treasurer. 

1858. 

In  1858  tlie  Senatorial  District,  composed  of  Yolo,  Napa 
and  Solano,  was  represented  in  tlie  Senate  by  Humplirey 
Griffitli,  and  Yolo  County  was  represented  in  tlie  Assembly 
by  William  Minis,  the  present  State  Senator  for  this  dis- 
trict. The  county  officers  elected  in  1857  entered  upon  their 
duties  at  the  time  apj)ointed  by  law.  The  term  of  John  M. 
Howell,  the  second  District  Judge  for  the  Eleventh  Judi- 
cial District,  composed  of  the  counties  of  Yolo,  Placer  and 
El  Dorado,  was  now  about  to  expire,  and  at  the  general 
election,  held  in  September,  B.  E.  Myers  was  elected  Judge 
of  that  district,  and  at  the  close  of  the  year  commenced  his 
official  duties. 

1859. 

In  1859  Yolo  County  was  represented  in  the  Assembly  by 
Harrison  Gwinu,  who  had  the  year  previously  left  the 
County  Judge's  bench,  and  the  Tenth  Senatorial  District 
continued  to  be  represented  by  H.  Griffith.  At  the  general 
election  of  this  year,  J.  T.  Daly  was  elected  County  Clerk; 
James  A.  Douglas,  Sheriff;  J.  W.  Jacobs,  District  Attorney, 
and  TV.  N.  Brooks  was  reelected  County  Treasurer.  In 
November  or  December  of  this  year,  some  parties  discov- 
ered gold  in  considerable  quantities  in  several  gulches 
emptying  into  Putah  Creek,  in  the  southwest,  part  of  the 
county.  A  sufficient  supply  of  water  could  not  be  obtained 
to  work  the  mines  to  advantage,  and  not  sufficient  to  work 
them  at  all,  except  whilst  it  was  raining.  There  is  no 
stream  that  can  be  conducted  to  the  head  of  these  gulches 
and  made  available  for  washing  gold  there  found.  After 
the  discovery,  minors  from  different  parts  came  to  the  newly- 
discovered  gold-field,  and  found  the  gold  in  such  quantities 
as  to  afford  them  very  fair  wages — sometimes  making  as 
high  as  eight  dollars  per  day  with  the  old-fashioned  rocker. 
Several  hundred  miners  congregated  there  with  their  equip- 
age, and  remained  until  the  rains  of  that  season  had  ceased. 
No  attention  has  been  paid  to  the  workings  of  the  mines 


HISTOEY  OP   YOLO   COUNTY.  33 

there  since,  yet,  it  is  almost  certain  that,  if  means  could  be 
devised  by  which  water  could  be  obtained  without  great 
expense,  in  sufficient  quantities  to  wash  the  earth  by  means 
of  sluices  or  hydraulic  power,  as  it  is  called,  large  fortunes 
might  be  taken  from  these  ravines. 

During  that  year  Mr.  James  Lowe,  a  resident  of  Yolo 
County,  crossed  the  Sacramento  River  into  Sutter  County, 
and  "jumped"  a  farm  belonging  to  a  German,  whose  name 
we  have  now  forgotten.  The  German  secreted  himself  in 
ambush  and  shot  Lowe,  killing  him  instantly.  An  arrest 
was  made;  the  German  was  tried  and  acquitted,  and  subse- 
quently was  drowned  in  the  Sacramento  River  while  in  a 
state  of  intoxication. 

1860. 

In  1860,  Harrison  Gwinn,  having  been  reelected,  contin- 
ued to  represent  Yolo  County  in  the  Assembly,  and  Henry 
Edgerton,  then  of  Napa,  now  of  Sacramento  City,  repre- 
sented the  district  in  the  Senate.  The  county  offices  were 
filled  by  the  officials  who  were  elected  at  the  last  general 
election. 

1861. 

In  1861,  Yolo  was  represented  in  the  Assembly  by  W.  S. 
Wood,  and  the  district  in  the  Senate  by  Henry  Edgerton. 
At  this  session  of  the  Legislature,  an  Act  was  passed  and 
approved  March  15th,  again  establishing  the  county  seat 
at  Washington.  Accordingly,  in  July  of  that  year^  the 
records  and  papers  belonging  to  the  county  were  again 
transferred  to  that  place.  An  Act  was  also  passed  re-di- 
viding the  State  into  Senatorial  Districts,  in  which  it  was 
provided  that  the  counties  of  Yolo  and  Solano  should  con- 
stitute the  Seventeenth  Senatorial  District. 

W.  S.  Ravely  gathered  together  the  dry  remains  of  the 
Yolo  Democrat,  that  had  been  published  at  Cacheville,  trans- 
ferred them  to  Knight's  Landing,  and  with  the  material  es- 
tablished a  small  paper,  entitled  the  KnigMs  Landing  Neivs. 
At  the  general  election,  held  in  September,  John  B.  Smith 
was  elected  County  Judge;  E.  Giddings,  County  Clerk; 
Charles  H.  Gray,  Sheriff;  Charles  W.  Reed,  Treasurer,  and 
H.  P.  Hamblin,  District  Attorney.

In  tlie  summer  of  this  year  a  homicide  was  committed  in 
this  county  by  a  man  named  George  Doane.  One  Samuel 
Fellows,  it  appears,  had  been  guilty  of  making  criminal 
advances  to  Doane's  wife.  When  the  fact  came  to  the 
knowledge  of  Doane,  he  immediately  sought  Fellows  and 
killed  him  with  a  single  stroke  from  the  butt  of  a  horse- 
whip. Doane  was  arrested  and  held  to  bail,  but  the  Grand 
Jury  never  found  a  bill  against  him. 

1862. 

Yolo  was  represented  in  the  Assembly,  in  1862,  by  I.  N. 
Hoag,  and  the  Senatorial  District  by  O.  B.  Powers,  now 
County  Judge  of  Solano  County.  John  B.  Smith,  the 
County  Judge  elect,  failed  to  qualify,  and  I.  N.  Hoag  was 
appointed  by  the  Governor  to  fill  that  office  until  the  gen- 
eral election  of  1862.  The  remainder  of  the  county  oflicers 
entered  upon  their  duties  at  the  time  appointed  by  law. 

An  Act  was  passed  on  the  nineteenth  of  April,  attaching 
Yolo  County  to  the  Sixth  Judicial  District,  whereupon  J.  H. 
McKune,  Judge  of  that  district,  entered  upon  the  duties  of 
District  Judge  for  Yolo  County. 

In  1855,  one  James  McClure  and  James  McClure,  Junior, 
built  a  small  blacksmith  shop  about  four  and  a  half  miles 
southeast  from  where  Cacheville  was  subsequently  built,  and 
commenced  the  business  of  blacksmithing.  During  the 
same  year  one  Henry  Wyckoff  put  up  a  small  building  near 
this  shop,  and  commenced  merchandising  on  a  small  scale. 
In  October,  of  the  next  year,  E.  R.  Moses,  now  a  resident  of 
Woodland,  was  permitted  by  the  proprietors  of  said  black- 
smith shop  to  occupy  a  portion  of  it  for  wood  work.  In 
1857,  he  and  his  brother,  A.  C.  Moses,  purchased  the  shop, 
and  therein  built  a  number  of  threshing  machines,  which 
were  sold  in  the  community.  This  purchase,  however,  was 
not  made  until  after  the  elder  McClure  had  sold  his  interest 
in  the  shop  to  Joseph  Wolgamot,  and  business  had  been 
carried  on  for  a  time  in  the  name  of  Wolgamot  &  McClure. 
During  the  summer  a  gambling  and  whisky  shop,  made  of 
canvas,  was  started  by  a  man  known  by  the  not  very 
euphonious  name  of  "By  Hell."    He  was  indicted  by  the 


HISTORY  OF  YOLO  COUNTY.  35 

Grand  Jury,  and  left  for  parts  unknown.  The  same  year, 
1857,  a  division  of  tlie  ' '  Sons  of  Temperance "  was  organ- 
ized by  tlie  community  around,  and  a  school-house  was 
built  near  the  shop,  to  which  a  second  story  was  added  and 
occupied  as  a  hall  by  the  "  Sons  of  Temperance  "  and  as  a 
Masonic  Lodge.  In  the  fall  our  enterprising  citizen,  F.  S. 
Freeman,  purchased  the  little  store  built  by  Mr.  "Wyckoff, 
and  stocked  it  with  goods,  and  this  little  neighborhood  took 
the  name  of  Yolo  City.  In  1868  a  post-office  was  estab- 
lished here  by  that  name,  and  F.  S.  Freeman  was  appointed 
post-master,  who  purchased  of  the  Government  the  land 
upon  which  the  few  buildings,  except  the  school-house,  were 
located,  near  the  southwest  corner  of  which  a  whisky-shop 
was  established,  where  laboring  men  from  the  neighboring 
farms  occasionally  congregated  and  played  cards  for  liquor. 
On  one  of  these  occasions,  one  William  Harbin  and  one 
Frank  Wright  had  been  engaged  at  playing  when  a  dispute 
arose  between  them  as  to  the  number  of  games  that  had 
been  lost,  whereupon  the  former  drew  a  knife  and  stabbed 
the  latter,  killing  him  almost  instantly.  Harbin  made  his 
•escape  and  was  never  arrested. 

In  the  autumn  of  1860,  there  resided,  about  one  mile 
southwest  from  Freeman's  store  and  Moses'  shop,  the  Rev- 
erend J.  N.  Peudegast,  and  about  three  miles  southwest 
from  his  place  the  Reverend  J.  Lawson — both  quite  noted 
pastors  of  the  Christian  Church — who,  by  their  energy  and 
influence,  succeeded  in  enlisting  the  interests  of  that  organ- 
ization to  an  extent  to  induce  the  building  of  an  institution 
known  as  the  Hesperian  College — a  more  perfect  history  of 
which  will  be  found  under  another  head  in  this  volume. 
The  few  buildings  we  have  mentioned  comprised  the  whole 
or  nearly  the  whole  of  Yolo  City  until  1862. 

On  the  thirteenth  of  March,  1862,  an  Act  was  passed, 
providing  that,  on  the  twenty-first  day  of  April,  1862,  an 
election  should  be  held  in  the  County  of  Yolo  to  locate  and 
establish  the  county  seat  of  said  county,  and  to  determine, 
by  a  majority  of  all  the  votes  cast  at  said  election,'  whether 
the  said  county  seat  should  be  and  remain  at  the  town  of 
Washington,  or  be  removed  to  the  town  of  Woodland,  com- 
monly called  Yolo  City.

Seldom  have  elections  been  more  vigorously  contested 
than  was  this;  sectional  prejudices  arose  in  different  parts 
of  the  county  which  have  not  now,  after  a  lapse  of  eight 
years,  been  wholly  healed.  The  result  of  the  election  was 
to  establish  the  county  se9,t  at  Woodland.  This  place  is 
situated  near  the  geographical  center  of  the  county,  in  the 
midst  of  a  rich  agricultural  community.  Of  its  advantages, 
social  relations,  growth,  prosperity  and  present  flourishing 
condition,  the  reader  is  referred  to  other  parts  of  this  vol- 
ume. At  the  general  election  in  1862,  H.  Griffith  and  L.  B. 
Hopkins  were  the  opposing  candidates  for  County  Judge, 
to  fill  the  vacancy  occasioned  by  the  failure  of  Smith  to 
qualify.  L.  E.  Hopkins  was  the  successful  candidate,  and 
entered  upon  the  duties  of  his  office  in  December.  The 
election  was  conducted  with  vigor,  but  in  a  friendly  spirit. 
Both  candidates  had  warm,  personal  friends;  both  were 
amply  qualified  for  the  position.  H.  Griffith  died  the  May 
following,  and  L.  B.  Hoj^kins,  as  Probate  Judge,  issued 
letters  testamentary  upon  his  estate,  and  in  two  months 
afterwards  Judge  Hopkins  also  died. 

Early  in  1862,  a  man  was  killed,  by  the  name  of  Jacob 
Byhard,  whilst  attempting  to  get  unlawful  possession  of  a 
farm,  the  particulars  of  which  we  have  not  learned,  but 
only  know  that  there  was  no  conviction  for  the  offense. 

1863. 

In  the  Legislature  of  1863,  Yolo  was  represented  in  the 
Assembly  by  Edward  Patten,  and  the  Seventeenth  Sena- 
torial District  was  represented  by  O.  B.  Powers.  At  this 
time  certain  amendments  to  the  State  Constitution  went 
into  effect,  whereby  State  Senators  were  to  hold  their  offices 
for  the  term  of  four  years,  and  Assemblymen  two  years. 
The  sessions  of  the  Legislature  were  to  be  biennial,  and 
were  to  meet  on  the  first  Monday  of  December,  instead  of 
January. 

At  the  general  election  held  in  September,  L.  C.  Brownell 
was  elected  County  Clerk;  C.  H.  Gray  was  reelected  Sheriff"; 
G.  A.  Fabricious,  County  Treasurer,  and  H.  G.  Burnett 
District  Attorney;  and  at  the  Judicial  election  held  in  Oc- 


HISTORY   OF   YOLO   COUNTY.  37 

tober,  J.  H.  McKune  was  reelected  Judge   of  the  Sixth 
Judicial  District  and  James  A.  Hutton,  County  Judge. 

In  June  of  this  year,  a  brutal  murder  was  committed 
near  Buckeye,  in  this  county.  An  old  gentleman,  by  the 
name  of  Palmer,  was  found  dead  in  a  barnyard,  with  a  rope 
tied  around  his  neck,  with  one  end  attached  to  a  saddle. 
There  was  a  horse  in  the  yard,  from  whicK  the  saddle  had 
evidently  been  taken  after  having  dragged  the  corpse  sev- 
eral times  around  the  yard.  The  skull  of  the  deceased  had 
been  broken  with  some  implement  having  square  edges  and 
being  about  one  inch  thick;  a  board  of  that  thickness  was 
found,  secreted  under  some  straw,  upon  which  there  was  an 
abundance  of  human  hair  and  blood.  J.  W.  Markley  was 
accused  of  the  crime,  indicted  and  tried,  but  finally  ac- 
quitted. 

1884. 

The  Legislature  met  in  December,  1863,  for  the  session 
of  1863-4.  Yolo  was  represented  in  the  House  by  J.  B. 
Hartsough,  and  the  District  of  Yolo  and  Solano  by  J.  T. 
Hall.  By  the  Constitutional  Amendment,  the  Senate  of 
that  session  was  to  be  divided  into  two  classes :  one  class  to 
hold  office  for  two  years  and  the  other  for  four.  Mr.  Hall 
drew  the  short  term.  The  county  officers  elected  at  the 
last  election  entered  upon  their  duties  as  provided  by  law — 
the  judicial  on  the  first  of  January  and  the  ministerial  on 
the  first  of  March.  During  this  session  of  the  Legislature 
a  law  was  passed  to  prevent  the  trespassing  of  animals, 
providing  for  a  recovery  of  damages  in  case  of  such  tres- 
pass, whether  the  lands  were  or  were  not  fenced.  This 
gave  a  new  impetus  to  the  grain-growing  interests  of  Yolo 
County.  Farmers  could  cultivate  their  lands  in  safety 
without  the  expense  of  inclosures;  it  led  to  a  development 
of  the  agricultural  interests  which  it  could  not  otherwise 
have  obtained  for  many  years. 

About  the  month  of  May  of  this  year,  the  Knight's  Land- 
ing News  was  transferred  to  Woodland,  changed  its  name, 
and  was   afterwards  published    under   the   name   of    I  he 

Woodland  News.

in  tlie  spring  of  186-i.  William  Williams  had  been  con- 
victed of  murder  in  Sacramento  County  some  years  pre- 
viously; his  case  was  taken  to  the  Supreme  Court,  the 
judgment  reversed  and  sent  back  for  a  new  trial;  it  was 
then  transferred  to  Yolo  County,  and  he  was  again  con- 
victed; another  appeal  was  taken  to  the  Supreme  Court, 
and  the  judgment  was  affirmed.  He  was  accordingly  exe- 
cuted by  the  Sheriff  of  Yolo  in  the  spring  of  1864. 

The  year  1864  was  a  hard  one  for  Yolo  County.  The  dry 
season  was  felt  in  all  parts  of  the  State,  but  probably  in 
none  more  than  in  Yolo.  Two  years  before,  the  crops  had 
been  almost  uuprecedented  in  the  county.  An  average  of 
forty-five  bushels  of  wheat  or  sixty  bushels  of  barley  to  the 
acre  was  not  an  unusual  yield.  Such  prosperity  tempted 
farmers,  in  hopes  of  a  continuance  of  like  yields,  to  make 
investments  to  an  extent  unwarranted.  In  1863  the  crops 
were  light,  and  in  1864  they  were  a  perfect  failure.  Land 
depreciated  in  value  more  than  a  hundred  per  cent. ;  those 
who  were  in  debt  were  almost  compelled  to  sell  their  pos- 
sessions. There  was,  perhaps,  not  grain  enough  raised  in 
the  county  to  feed  the  fowls  of  the  common,  much  less  to 
supply  the  wants  of  the  peojDle. 

1865-6. 

Early  in  April,  1865,  L.  C.  Brownell  died,  leaving  the 
office  of  County  Clerk  vacant,  and  immediately  thereafter 
E.  Giddiugs  was  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  to 
fill  the  vacancy. 

At  the  general  election,  in  September  following,  E.  Gid- 
dings  was  elected  County  Clerk;  William  Minis,  Sheriff; 
Giles  E.  Sill,  Treasurer,  and  H.  G.  Burnett  waa  re-elected 
District  Attorney.  L.  B.  Mizner  was  elected  to  the  Senate 
to  represent  Yolo  and  Solano  counties,  and  Charles  F.  Beed 
to  represent  Yolo  County  in  the  Assembly  and  serve  during 
the  session  of  1865  and  1866. 

In  the  fall  of  1866,  a  homicide  was  committed  near  Fre- 
mont, in  this  county.  Some  of  the  circumstance^  disclosed 
by  the  evidence  were  as  follows :  T.  A.  Eussell  and  W.  A. 
Currie  were  brothers-in-law,  stopi^iug  at  the  house  of  Mrs. 


HISTOKY   OF  YOLO   COUNTY.  39 

Dawson,  their  sister-in-law.  The  fact  came  to  the  knowl- 
edge of  Kussell  that  Currie  was  criminally  intimate  with 
his  wife,  and  as  Currie  entered  a  room  where  Eussell  was 
sitting,  immediately  after  the  facts  had  been  learned  by 
him,  he  drew  a  pistol  and  shot  Currie,  killing  him  instantly. 
Russell  was  arrested,  tried  and  acquitted. 


1867-8. 

In  1867,  M.  A.  Woods  was  elected  County  Judge; 
E.  Bynum,  County  Clerk;  William  Minis  was  reelected 
Sheriff;  Giles  E.  Sill  was  reelected  County  Treasurer, 
and  J.  C.  Ball  was  elected  District  Attorney;  John  M. 
Kelly  was  elected  Assemblyman  from  this  county  and  rep- 
resented it  in  the  Legislature  of  1867  and  1868 — L.  B. 
Mizner  continuing  in  the  Senate. 

Early  in  the  winter  of  1867,  a  homicide  was  committed 
at  Knight's  Landing.  Two  men  who  were  perfect  stran- 
gers met  in  a  bar-room — James  Stewart  and  C.  A.  Brown. 
Brown  was  intoxicated  and  crazed  with  alcohol — no  per- 
sonal prejudices  to  avenge — no  previous  hatred  to  be 
aroused.  A  few  words  of  altercation  were  heard,  a  clinch 
ensued,  a  knife  was  drawn,  and  Stewart  fell,  bleeding  and 
dying,  to  the  floor.  The  demon  of  intemperance  impelled 
the  mortal  stroke;  a  good  man  was  a  corpse — an  awful 
warning  to  those  who  indulge  in  the  intoxicating  bowl! 
Brown  was  tried  in  1867,  and  by  a  jury  of  his  countrymen 
found  guilty  of  manslaughter. 

We  have  said  that  the  Yolo  Democrat,  published  in  Cache- 
ville,  in  1857,  died  in  its  infancy  and  was  buried.  But: 
"After  death  is  the  resurrection."  We  have  said,  also, 
that  the  remains  of  the  institution  were  removed  to 
Knight's  Landing  and  converted  into  the  KnigMs  Landing 
News;  that  in  1864:  it  was  removed  to  Woodland,  and  there 
appeared  as  the  Woodland  Neios.  This  paper  continued  to 
be  published  until  the  autumn  of  1867,  and  died  on  the 
sixteenth  of  November  of  that  year.  On  Saturday,  the 
twenty-third  of  November,  there  appeared  in  the  streets  of 
Woodland  the  Yolo  Democrat,  the  resurrected  remains  of 
the  paper  that  died  in  Cacheville  ten  years  before.     It  had 


40  THE  WESTERN  SHOEE  GAZETTEER. 

materially  improved  in  appearance  by  its  long  slumber;  for 
it  had  not  been  dead  but  sleeping! 

On  tlie  first  of  October,  1868,  tlie  Yolo  Mail,  a  Republican 
journal,  was  established  at  Woodland.  Both  papers  are 
now  flourishing  institutions  at  that  place. 

1869-70. 

In  1869,  E.  Bynum  was  elected  County  Clerk;  J.  P.  Bul- 
lock, Sheriff;  A.  C.  Kean,  Treasurer,  and  J.  C.  Ball  was 
reelected  District  Attorney;  John  M.  Kelly  was  reelected 
to  the  Assembly,  and  William  Minis  was  elected  State 
Senator  from  this  district;  Lewis  Ramage  was  elected 
Judge  of  the  Sixth  Judicial  District — each  of  whom  yet 
holds  the  office  to  which  he  was  then  elected.  • 

In  the  fall  of  1869,  Isaac  Wyckam  killed  a  man  by  the 
name  of  Ferris,  in  this  county.  The  cause  of  the  homicide 
was  a  difficulty  about  a  land  claim.  Wyckam  is  yet  in 
jail  awaiting  his  trial.  The  facts  have  not  yet  been  given  in 
evidence,  and  we  shall  not  attempt  to  give  them  in  advance. 

M.  A.  Woods,  County  Judge,  died  January  30th,  1870, 
and  James  Johnson  was  appointed  by  Governor  Haight  to 
fill  the  vacancy. 

We  have  now  completed  our  little  history  of  Yolo 
County,  from  its  earliest  settlement  until  the  year  1870. 
We  do  not  flatter  ourselves  that  it  contains  a  large  amount 
of  matter  interesting  to  those  who  have  not  been  to  some 
extent  identified  with  its  interests. 

But  if  it  shall  awaken  in  the  minds  of  the  early  settlers 
pleasant  and  romantic  reminiscences  of  the  past,  become  a 
source  of  gratification  to  those  who  in  the  future  may  be- 
come citizens  of  the  county,  or  be  found  convenient  as  a 
statistical  reference,  our  whole  object  will  have  been  ob- 
tained. 


YOLO  COUNTY. 


Yolo  County  lies  on  the  west  side  of  the  Sacramento 
Eiver,  between  tlie  parallels  of  thirty-eight  and  thirty-nine 
degrees,  north  latitude.  Woodland,  the  county  seat,  is 
situated  near  the  forty-fifth  degree  of  longitude,  west  from 
Washington,  or  one  hundred  and  two  degrees  west  from 
Greenwich.  The  county  contains  a  population  of  nearly 
ten  thousand,  probably  falling  short  three  hundred  of  that 
number,  according  to  the  census  just  taken. 

The  main  portion  of  the  county  presents  the  appearance 
of  an  unbroken  plain,  interspersed  with  strips  or  belts  of 
timber-land.  It  forms  one  of  the  most  productive  portions 
of  the  Sacramento  Valley,  and  is  already  justly  celebrated 
for  the  richness  of  its  fields,  the  rapid  growth  of  its  lead- 
ing-towns, and  the  general  advancement  of  trade  and  com- 
mercial interests.  As  surveyed,  the  county  contains  nine 
hundred  and  forty  square  miles,  or  six  hundred  and  one 
thousand  six  hundred  acres.  Supposing  the  western  line 
to  run  its  direct  course  through  the  unsurveyed  portion, 
there  would  be  about  eighty  thousand  acres  additional, 
making  a  total  of  six  hundred  and  eighty-one  thousand  six 
hundred.  For  convenience,  we  will  call  it  seven  hundred 
thousand  acres,  divided  as  follows :  Swamp  and  overflowed 
land,  one  hundred  and  sixty  thousand  acres;  mountain 
land,  two   hundred    thousand   acres;    leaving    three  hun- 


42  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

clred  and  forty  tliousand  acres  suitable  for  cultiTation. 
We  have  accounts  of  one  hundred  and  fifty-six  thou- 
sand three  hundred  and  fifty-eight  acres  cultivated  this 
season,  divided  as  follows:  One  hundred  and  twenty- 
nine  thousand  seven  hundred  and  eight  acres  of  wheat, 
twenty-four  thousand  and  eighty  acres  of  barley,  two 
thousand  five  hundred  and  seventy  acres  of  garden. 
Our  estimate  of  the  average  crop  is :  Fifty-eight  thousand 
tons  of  wheat;  twelve  thousand  tons  of  barley;  value  of 
garden  products,  one  hundred  and  thirty  thousand  dollars. 
The  value  of  the  annual  export  trade  of  eggs  and  poultry  is 
fifty-eight  tliousand  three  hundred  dollars.  Taking  the 
average  price  of  the  season,  one  and  one-half  cents  per 
pound,  we  have  as  the  value  of  the  wheat  crop,  one  million 
seven  hundred  and  forty  tliousand  dollars;  value  of  the 
barley,  at  twenty  dollars  per  ton,  two  hundred  and  forty 
thousand  dollars.  About  thirty  thousand  acres  were  cut 
for  hay  this  season,  yielding  about  that  number  of  tons, 
valued  at  two  hundred  and  forty  thousand  dollars.  The 
value  of  the  agricultural  products  foots  up  to  two  million 
four  hundred  and  eight  thousand  three  hundred. 

The  grain  crop  is  mostly  purchased  at  three  points: 
Woodland,  Knight's  Landing  and  Davisville,  though  small 
quantities  are  stored  and  sold  at  other  points  along  the 
river  and  railroad.  Messrs.  Laugenour  &  Brownell  and 
C.  F.  Eeed  buy  at  Knight's  Landing,  Messrs.  Thomas  & 
Hunt  and  F.  S.  Freeman  at  Woodland,  Dresbach  &  Co.  at 
Davisville. 

The  past  season  has  not  been  favorable  to  grain  growers, 
and  the  yield  through  the  county,  with  but  few  exceptions, 
has  been  light. 

There  are  in  the  county  many  sources  of  wealth  aside 
from  those  mentioned,  which  will  be  treated  of  in  their 
proper  order — a  brief  paragraph  being  devoted  to  each. 
Manufactures  are  in  a  flourishing  condition,  as  will  be  seen 
by  a  glance  at  the  tables  of  statistics.  This  county  is  a 
heavy  importer  of  many  articles  that  could  be  well  manu- 
factured here  at  less  cost  than  they  now  command,  and 
this  fact  is   turning   the  attention   of    capitalists  in   that 


YOLO  COUNTY.  43 

direction,  and  we  hope  ere  long  to  see  factories  for  various 
branches  of  manufactures  erected  in  our  midst. 

Yolo  County  possesses  great  natural  advantages  as  an 
agricultural  and  commercial  county.  With  the  sinuosities 
of  the  river  the  county  possesses  a  water  front  of  sixty  to 
seventy  miles,  on  which  are  several  landings  where  grain 
and  produce  can.be  readily  shipped. 

The  California  Pacific  Bailroad  traverses  the  central  part 
of  the  county,  affording  rapid  transit  for  exports  or  imports 
at  any  time  of  the  year.  The  river  carriage  is  extensive 
and  rates  of  transportation  reasonable,  and  the  route  is 
rarely  interrupted  by  changes  of  seasons. 


Projected  Railroads. 

The  projected  railroads,  when  completed,  will  bring  a 
great  addition  of  wealth  to  the  county — bringing  the  land 
carriage  and  travel  of  several  counties  directly  through 
Yolo.  With  a  road  to  Colusa  and  Red  Bluflfs,  connecting 
with  the  present  road  at  Woodland,  the  business  of  that 
section  would  pass  over  this  route  on  its  way  to  the  bay, 
adding  materially  to  the  extensive  travel  now  x^^T-ssing 
through  the  county. 

But  a  road  of  as  much  and  perhaps  of  more  importance 
to  the  interests  of  this  county,  because  its  business  would 
be  more  centralized  here,  is  the  road  projected  from  Wood- 
land, through  Capay  Valley  and't3aclie  Creek  Canon,  via 
Clear  Lake,  to  the  Mendocino  Eed  Woods. 

This  road  would  give  us  the  whole  trade  of  Lake  County 
and  a  large  portion  of  Mendocino.  It  would  centralize  the 
business  at  Woodland,  doubling  its  business  and  size 
within  the  first  year  after  the  road  was  completed.  Lum- 
ber, which  now  commands  such  exorbitant  prices,  could  be 
delivered  in  Woodland  at  rates  enabling  our  farmers  to 
fence  and  build  at  far  less  rates  than  they  are  now  com- 
pelled to  pay.  The  growing  importance  of  the  Lake 
County  trade  demands  that  an  earnest  effort  be  made  on 
the  part  of  the  business  men  of  this  county  to  secure  it. 
The  lumber  and  wood  interests   alone  would  justify  the 


44  THE  WESTEKN  SHOKE  GAZETTEER. 

venture.  From  Woodland  to  tlie  mouth  of  the  canon 
through  Capay  Yalley  is  but  forty  miles,  over  a  natural 
road-bed,  presenting  no  obstacles  but  a  level  plain.  From 
the  outlet  of  the  canon  to  the  lake  is  twenty  miles  of  heavy 
work,  the  route  following  the  creek.  From  the  lake  to  the 
lumber  regions — forty  miles — the  route  presents  no  serious 
obstacles,  the  spurs  or  slopes  of  the  broken  ridges  being 
long  and  of  easy  grades;  Through  the  caiion  seems  to  be 
the  only  natural,  feasible  route  for  the  road,  as  the  range  that 
intervenes  between  the  lake  and  Capay  Valley  is  from  six 
hundred  to  one  thousand  feet  above  the  lake,  the  ascent 
and  descent  very  abrupt  and  probably  insurmountable. 

There  are  no  long,  sloping  spurs  by  which  a  road  could  be 
carried  up  or  down  this  range,  without  the  expenditure  of 
such  sums  as  would  forbid  its  construction  in  the  present 
state  of  the  counties  affected  thereby. 

The  prosperity  of  the  county  demands  the  establishment 
of  these  routes,  especially  the  northern  and  northwestern 
portions,  which  are  now  dependent  on  freight  teams  as  a 
means  of  transportation  for  the  vast  crops  annually  grown 
in  those  sections. 

Clear  Lake  Wagon  Road. 

A  very  good  wagon  road  has  been  constructed  across  the 
mountains,  connecting  with  the  Berryessa  Yalley  and  Clear 
Lake  Eoad;  but  it  is  of  little  importance  as  a  route  over 
which  to  transj)ort  large  amounts  of  freight,  owing  to  the 
abruptness  of  the  ascent  from  this  side  and  the  steep 
descent  into  Sulphur  Creek  Valley,  where  it  unites  with  the 
road  mentioned.  From  the  foot  of  the  mountains  to  the 
county  line,  or  rather,  all  that  portion  of  the  road  lying  in 
Yolo,  is  a  county  road  and  free  to  travelers,  but  that  por- 
tion in  Lake  County,  from  the  ridge  to  the  valley,  is  a 
chartered  toll  road,  which  has  a  great  tendency  to  turn 
Lake  County  travel  into  Napa  via  of  Berryessa  Valley. 

Li  this  connection  it  may  be  well  to  consider  the 

Public  Roads  of  the  County. 
We  cannot  speak  in  lavish  praise  of  the  road-system  of 


YOLO  COUNTY.  45 

the  county,  whicli  lias  liad  the  effect  of  furnishing  very  poor 
roads  and  very  few  at  that. 

In  a  county  susceptible  of  having  the  very  best  of  public 
roads,  we  find  but  few  if  any  that  would  be  classed  as  be- 
longing to  that  order.  We  find  further,  that  many  of  the 
roads,  asnowused,  have  never  been  laid  out  and  declared  pub- 
lic highways,  and  are  liable  to  be  shut  up  and  closed  to  the 
public  at  any  moment,  when  caprice  or  other  causes  on  the 
part  of  the  land-owners  should  determine  them  to  do  so. 

This  state  of  affairs  is  a  great  detriment  to  the  prosperity 
of  the  county,  for  various  reasons.  Owners  of  lands  ad- 
joining roads,  not  yet  declared  public  highways,  hesitate  to 
fence,  build,  plant  trees  and  otherwise  improve  their  farms, 
fearful  that  some  cajDrice  or  whim  of  their  neighbors  may 
remove  the  road,  and  they  and  their  improvements  be  left 
isolated.  Again,  the  farmer  fears  that  a  road  may  be  forced 
through  his  lands  at  inconvenient  points,  and  he  forbears 
fencing,  which  might  all  have  to  be  removed,  to  remain  of  any 
value,  should  the  present  roads  be  changed,  as  is  frequently 
the  case.  These  and  many  other  considerations  render  it 
almost  imperative  that  the  public  roads  should  be  located 
permanently  by  the  proper  authorities. 

There  is  another  item  to  be  considered  in  connection  with 
roads,  of  equal  importance  to  trade  and  travel.  We  refer 
to  the  public 

Bridges. 

In  this  department  the  county  has  done  nobly,  and,  as 
far  as  at  present  constructed,  her  bridges  are  inferior  to 
none.  Two  fine  bridges  span  Cache  Creek — one  at  Nelson's, 
near  Woodland,  and  one  at  Cacheville.  One  is  spoken  of 
at  the  mouth  of  Cache  Creek  Canon,  which  would  accom- 
modate the  section  north  of  the  creek,  and  known  as  Hun- 
gry Hollow.  A  bridge  at  this  point  is  an  imperative  neces- 
sity, and  will  doubtless  soon  be  built  by  the  county  or  by 
private  individuals.  It  is  absolutely  necessary  to  bring  the 
trade  of  that  portion  of  the  county  to  Woodland. 

In  other  parts  of  the  county,  the  streams  are  smaller  and 
generally  well  bridged.     The  road  and  bridge  fund  of  the 


46  THE  WESTEEN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

county  is  in  good  condition,  and  we  may  confidently  expect 
an  improvement  in  tlie  pnblic  liigliways. 


Toll  Roads. 

There  are  but  two  toll  roads — the  Putah  Greek  Turnpike 
and  the  Yolo  PlankroacJ  Turnpike  Company's  Road.  The 
latter  road  connects  the  Eiver  Road  with  the  Buckeye  Road, 
via  the  Tule  House.  The  Toll  Road  extends  from  the  river 
to  the  Tule  House,  and  is  four  and  one-half  miles  long.  It 
was  built  in  1855,  under  a  charter  granted  to  J.  L.  Lewis, 
William  Green,  J.  P.  Hopper,  W.  0.  Wallace,  George  W. 
Foster,  Joshua  B.  Tufts  and  Judge  Ralston.  The  road  is 
assessed  at  three  thousand  eight  hundred  dollars.  It  was 
built  to  enable  the  travel  to  cross  the  tules  during  the  win- 
ter and  spring  months,  but  we  believe  there  has  been  but 
two  winters  since  it  was  built  when  travel  was  entirely  un- 
interrupted by  the  floods.     J.  L.  Lewis  is  gate-keeper. 


Ferries. 

The  first  ferry  established  in  Yolo  County  was  established 
by  J.  B.  Lewis,  who  crossed  the  plains  in  '50  and  settled  in 
this  county  in  May,  '51.  In  the  following  fall,  he  started  the 
first  ferry  across  the  tules,  near  where  the  present  Toll 
Road  is  established.  It  was  what  is  known  as  a  rope  ferry, 
the  rope  used  being  three  miles  long.  Two  trips  were  made 
daily,  unless  the  wind  prevented,  as  was  frequently  the  case. 
The  prices  of  ferryage  was  as  follows :  Two  dollars  per  head 
for  stock;  one  dollar  for  each  passenger.  Mr.  Lewis  records 
one  season  when  the  ferry  was  useless,  there  being  no  water 
in  the  tules.  In  '52-3  and  4,  he  run  a  ferry  across  Wash- 
ington Lake. 

Smith's  Ferry. 

The  ferries  in  present  use  in  the  county  are  four  in  num- 
ber. Smith's  Perry,  the  uppermost,  is  about  fourteen  miles 
north  from  Woodland,  on  the  Marysville  Road. 


YOLO   COUNTY.  47 

Knight's  Landing  Ferry- 
Is  one  of  the  oldest  on  the  river.     It  is  OAvned  by  J.  Snow- 
hall  and  others. 

Siitterville  Ferry, 

Three  and  a  half  miles  below  Washington,  connects  Sutter- 
ville  with  the  Yolo  shore,  at  McGregor's  Ranch.  It  is 
owned  and  run  by  Samnel  Hawk. 

Freeport  Ferry, 

Or  Jackson's  Ferry,  connects  the  town  of  Freeport  with  the 
Yolo  shore.  It  was  established  by  George  C.  Jackson  and 
others  in  1852 — Mr.  Jackson  being  boss-builder  of  the  first 
boat.  This  is  a  buoy  ferry,  with  a  large  boat  and  excellent 
landings.  It  is  thirteen  miles  below  Washington,  thirty- 
one  miles  southeast  from  Woodland.  It  is  owned  and  run 
by  its  old  proprietor,  George  C.  Jackson. 

We  will  now  consider  the  natural  divisions  of  the  county, 
their  general  character,  resources  and  value : 

Natural  Divisions  of  the  County. 

Owing  to  the  peculiar  location  of  the  county  and  the 
varied  character  of  its  soil,  it  is  divided  by  nature  into  five 
sections,  which  we  have  classed  as  divisions  one,  two,  three, 
four  and  five,  when  locating  the  many  farms  and  speaking 
of  their  qualities. 

These  divisions  have  not  been  made  by  us  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  include  in  one  belt  all  land  of  equal  value — far 
from  it.  We  have  taken  the  natural  divisions  and  simply 
numbered  them.  For  example:  A  farm  may  be  located  in 
division  three,  but  owing  to  its  proximity  to  division  two  it 
may  be  comparatively  worthless,  or  it  may  be  of  far  more 
value  than  the  one  in  the  same  division  immediately  ad- 
joining it. 

There  are  farms  in  division  two  which,  owing  to  their 
peculiar  location,  their  adaptability  to  peculiar  phases  of 


48  THE  WESTEEN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

agi'iculture,  and  for  many  other  causes,  are  lield  at  high 
figures  and  will  command  them ;  while,  on  the  other  hand, 
there  are  farms  in  divisions  one  and  three  that  are  nearly 
worthless,  owing  to  natural  causes,  still  they  are  ranked  in 
those  valuable  divisions  because  they  come  within  the  belts 
thus  segregated  by  Nature. 

In  division  five  occasionally  we  find  small  and  A^aluable 
farms,  but  not  in  division  four,  which  presents  but  little 
difierence  in  soil  throughout  its  length  and  breadth. 

This  explanation  may  sufiice  to  show  why  some  farms  in 
division  three  are  valued  at  thirty,  forty,  fifty  to  one  hun- 
dred, dollars  per  acre,  while  others  in  the  same  division  are 
valued  at  from  five  to  fifteen  dollars  per  acre. 

Quality  of  soil  has  been  the  first  consideration,  then  the 
advantages  of  living  water — soil  being  equal — in  valuing 
lands.  We  then  consider  the  proximity  to  market  and 
large  towns,  which  places  a  value  on  such  lands  (all  other 
things  being  equal)  far  above  the  price  of  lands  less  favor- 
ably situated.  For  instance :  Land  in  the  immediate  vicinity 
of  Woodland  sells  readily  at  from  sixty-five  to  one  hundred 
dollars  per  acre,  while  land  of  better  quality,  thirty  miles 
distant,  commands  but  from  twenty  to  thirty  dollars.  Again, 
very  large  farms  are  rated  lower  per  acre  than  small  ones 
in  the  same  locality,  our  aim  being  to  give  a  \aluation  that 
would  be  realized  in  case  of  forced  sales  of  the  whole 
quantity. 

The  buyer  would  find  it  impossible  to  purchase  eighty 
or  one  hundred  and  sixty  acres  of  land  from  the  owners  of 
large  tracts  at  the  figures  given,  for  the  reason  that  the 
holders  of  large  tracts  of  grain  land  do  not  desire  to  sell, 
unless  they  dispose  of  the  whole  body. 

Again,  in  division  two  the  value  of  the  lands  is  but  pros- 
pective, depending  on  the  future. 

But  we  leave  this  for  a  general  description  of  each  divis- 
ion, commencing  with 

DIVISION   ONE, 

Which  is  a  narrow  belt  of  land,  bordering  the  Sacramento 
River  the  entire  length  of  the  county.     In  width,  it  varies 


YOLO   COUNTY.  49 

from  fifty  rods  to  half  a  mile,  rarely  exceeding  the  latter. 
Besides  the  river  belt  a  similar  strip  of  land  borders 
Babel,  Elk  and  Sutter  sloughs,  as  well  as  the  sinks  of 
Putah  and  Cache  creeks.  This  laud  is  entirely  "made 
land;"  or,  in  other  words,  it  has  been  deposited  by  the 
streams  in  their  annual  overflow.  In  some  localities,  where 
the  water  has  been  ' '  backed  up  "  and  over  these  lands,  the 
sediment  has  accumulated  very  rapidly  and  attained  a  great 
depth.  These  sections  are  the  choice  garden  lands  of  the 
county,  and  are  remarkable  for  their  fertility  and  the 
apparently  inexhaustible  nature  of  the  soil.  The  clearing 
of  these  lands  from  the  great  growth  of  willow  and  ' '  un- 
derbrush "  which  covers  them  is  very  difficult  and  expen- 
sive. The  labor  ceases  not  with  the  first  crop.  Great  care 
must  be  exercised  for  several  years,  or  until  the  roots  have 
been  quite  eradicated;  and  then,  if  the  land  is  suffered  to 
lie  idle  for  a  few  seasons,  it  is  again  covered  with  an  almost 
impenetrable  mass  of  vines  and  "underbrush." 

This  land,  at  the  present  time,  rents  readily  for  fifteen  to 
twenty-five  dollars  per  acre,  according  to  the  locality  and 
quality.  A  great  many  Chinamen  are  employed  in  garden- 
ing, generally  renting  the  land  and  working  for  themselves. 
About  twenty-five  hundred  acres  are  cultivated  in  vege- 
tables, the  annual  value  of  the  product  being  estimated 
at  one  hundred  and  thirty  thousand  dollars. 

DIVISION  TWO. 

Under  this  head  is  classed  the  tule  and  swamp  lands  of  the 
county.  They  are  situated  mostly  in  the  southern  and  east- 
ern portions  of  the  county,  though  the  belt  extends  to  the 
extreme  northwestern  corner.  This  tract  of  land,  or  divis- 
ion, contains  two  hundred  and  fifty  sections,  or  about  one 
hundred  and  sixty  thousand  acres.  A  large  portion  of  this 
land  can  be  grazed  only  during  the  summer  and  fall,  for 
when  the  winter  and  spring  floods  appear  it  is  mostly  sub- 
merged. Great  loss  of  property  has  frequently  occurred 
from  the  sudden  inundations  of  this  section  of  the  county. 

The  valuation  of  this  land  is  merely  nominal,  the  taxes 
4 


50  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

light  accordingly.  For  the  present  year  it  is  assessed  at 
one  and  a  quarter  dollars  per  acre.  Its  real  value  in  many 
cases  is  far  greater,  while  in  others  it  is  all  the  land  is 
worth  at  present. 

The  Tules 

Which  cover  this  section  are  simply  immense  rushes,  which 
cover  the  ground  with  an  almost  impenetrable  thicket. 
They  reach  an  altitude  unknown  in  other  lands,  frequently 
attaining  the  height  of  sixteen  to  eighteen  feet.  The  aver- 
age height  of  these  tules  is  about  ten  feet,  growing  less  on 
the  borders  where  the  swamp  land  joins  the  other  division. 
During  the  summer  season  these  swamps  afford  good  pas- 
turage, or  ' '  range "  for  numbers  of  cattle  and  horses. 
Hogs  thrive  remarkably  well,  finding  a  great  variety  of 
roots  and  bulbous  plants  suitable  for  food. 

These  immense  rushes  are  annuals,  and  their  decay  in 
the  fall  is  as  rapid  as  their  growth  is  remarkable  in  the 
spring. 

From  the  decayed  matter  of  this  swamp  growth,  and 
the  sediment  annually  deposited,  the  present  soil  has  been 
formed.  In  some  localities  it  is  comparatively  shallow, 
while  in  others  it  has  been  demonstrated  to  extend  a  depth 
of  sixty  feet,  with  no  perceptible  difference  in  the  character 
or  formation  of  the  deposit. 

Underlying  this  deposit  is  a  strata  of  clay,  resting  upon 
a  bed  of  sand  and  gravel,  from  which,  in  most  cases,  excel- 
lent water  is  obtained.  The  soil  is  apparently  inexhaust- 
ible, and  where  it  has  been  reclaimed  has  been  j)roved  of 
great  productive  powers. 

Levees. 

A  system  of  levjang  was  undertaken  several  years  since, 
which  so  far  has  not  produced  the  desired  effect.  The 
waters  from  the  Sacramento  Eiver  have  been  kept  within 
their  channel  for  some  distance,  but  the  back-waters  over- 
flow the  land  at  every  flood.  Still  the  damage  is  trifling, 
compared  with  what  it  would  be  if  the  river  had  full  sway. 

It  is  a  question  whether  this  land  can  ever  be  reclaimed, 


YOLO  COUNTY.  51 

as  a  body.  Apparently  not,  unless  tlie  streams  wliich  pour 
their  winter  floods  thereon  could  be  carried  between  levees 
until  their  wate-rs  reach  the  main  channel  or  the  bay. 

Certain  it  is,  that  could  this  reclamation  be  effected,  one 
of  the  finest  bodies  of  agricultural  lands  in  the  State  would 
be  ready  for  occupancy,  and  become  a  source  of  immense 
wealth  and  prosperity. 

Reclamation  of  Swamp  Lands. 

There  are  parts  and  portions  of  this  land,  such,  for  ex- 
ample, as  Merritt's  Island  and  those  portions  bordering  the 
sinks  of  Cache  and  Putah  creeks,  that  could  be  readily 
reclaimed;  but  those  parts  lying  within  the  "deep  tule  " 
range,  though  perhaps  reclaimable,  would,  doubtless,  re- 
quiie  a  greater  outlay  of  capital  than  the  present  condition 
of  affairs  would  justify.  Hence,  we  can  see  no  reasonable 
ground  for  believing  that  the  main  body  of  the  tules  will 
be  reclaimed  for  many  years  to  come. 

A  plan  is  now  under  consideration  whereby  the  tule 
lands  in  tlie  northeastern  portion  of  the  county  may  be 
reclaimed,  and  a  petition  has  been  laid  before  the  Board  of 
Supervisors,  asking  that  legal  steps  may  be  taken  for  that 
purpose.  It  is  proposed  to  take  in,  in  one  district,  all  that 
body  of  tules  lying  north  of  Knight's  Landing  and  south  of 
the  Colusa  line,  and  inclose  it,  where  necessary,  with  levees. 
It  is  claimed  that  by  thus  segregating  it,  the  work  of  recla- 
mation will  be  very  light. 

DIVISION  THREE. 

Under  this  head  is  classed  the  grain  lands  of  the  State, 
or  that  portion  of  the  county  lying  between  the  foot-hills 
and  the  belt  of  swamp  land  of  which  we  have  been  speak- 
ing. In  it  are  included  the  valleys,  such  as  are  large 
enough  to  be  of  any  note.  This  body  of  land,  with  one 
exception,  is  treated  as  a  whole  in  classifying  farms,  though 
it  is  far  from  possessing  an  equal  value. 

The  exception  referred  to  is  the  red,  gravelly  belt,  which 
extends  through  a  portion  of  the  main  grain-growing  sec- 


52  THE  WESTEEN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

tion.  This  will  be  spoken  of  under  division  four,  witJi 
which  we  have  classed  it. 

Where  the  grain  lands  join  the  tules  the  quality  of  the 
soil  is  frequently  very  different  from  that  which  lies  but 
one  section  further  inland.  A  narrow  belt  of  lands,  often 
strongly  impregnated  with  alkali,  generally  unites  the  two 
divisions.  This  land,  lying  above  the  overflows,  and  gen- 
erally cultivated,  is  located  among  the  grain  lands.  Owing 
to  the  prevalence  of  alkali  on  some  farms,  their  value  is 
very  materially  decreased.  This  explanation  will  suffice  to 
afford  a  reason  why  some  farms  are  valued  at  low  figures, 
while  others  immediately  adjoining  them  are  valued  very 
high.  The  quality  of  the  soil  and  the  improvements 
thereon  have  determined  the  valuations  of  farms,  while 
nature  determines  the  divisions. 

Again,  where  the  grain  lands  border  on  the  foot-hills, 
and  include  in  their  compass  broken  lands,  rolling  hills, 
gTilches  and  ravines,  they  are  naturally  of  less  value  than 
where  the  same  quality  of  soil  is  well  situated. 

All  these  points  have  been  considered  in  connection  with 
these  lands,  and  the  main  peculiarities  of  each  section  have 
been  noted  and  will  be  briefly  alluded  to. 

DIVISION  FOUR. 

This  embraces  the  red,  gravelly  belt,  referred  to,  and  the 
first  range  of  foot-hills.  This  gravel  ridge  and  alkali  belt 
begins  about  four  miles  west  from  Woodland,  extending  to 
within  about  three  miles  of  Cottonwood.  It  has  a  width 
of  from  one  to  four  miles,  including  in  its  limits,  alkali, 
adobe,  gravel-beds,  and  many  other  peculiar  features  of 
soil,  that  are  more*  marked  than  valuable.  There  are  a  few 
good  farms  within  this  district,  but  they  are  the  exceptions. 
The  foot-hills  included  in  this  division  arc  those  bordering 
the  entire  length  of  the  county,  or  rather  those  that  are 
suitable  for  and  have  been  devoted  to  grain  culture. 

DIVISION  FIVE. 

In    this  is  included  the  mountainous  part  or  western 


YOLO  COUNTY.  53 

division  of  tlie  county.  It  is  used  only  for  gi-azing,  and 
lias  for  that  purpose  a  nominal  value,  equivalent  to  the  tule 
lands  in  taxation,  though  these  lands  will  sell  more  readily 
and  bring  a  better  price. 

Value  of  the  Crazing  Lands. 

These  lands,  where  convenient  to  water,  have  been  rated 
at  five  dollars  per  acre,  and  of  those  which  are  not  watered 
and  claimed  we  have  made  no  mention.  There  is  quite  a 
body  of  grazing  land  among  the  mountains  yet  unclaimed 
and  unsurveyed.  It  is  worthless  to  any  one  but  those  who 
have  secured  the  water-courses  and  springs. 

It  is  highly  probable  that  many  years  will  elapse  before 
the  mountains  will  be  surveyed  and  sectionized,  if  ever 
they  are ;  and  until  then  those  who  have  stock  ranges  will 
hold  them  to  the  exclusion  of  new-comers.  There  is  no 
inducement  whatever  for  stock-men  to  seek  Yolo  County, 
as  every  available  stock  ranch  is  claimed  or  occupied — gen- 
erally the  latter.  Unless  he  wishes  to  purchase  locations, 
and  expects  to  pay  a  round  price  for  them,  it  is  unneces- 
sary for  the  stock-man  to  visit  Yolo  with  the  intention  of 
locating. 

Having  glanced  at  the  divisions  thus  naturally  formed, 
we  will  consider  some  of  the  main  features  of  the  localities 
thus  divided,  and  take  a  general  view  of  the  different  va- 
rieties of  farming  lands  found  in  division  three,  com- 
mencing with  those  bordering  the  Sacramento  River — the 
main  body  of  division  one. 

Sacramento  River  Land. 

Along  the  Sacramento  Eiver,  extending -from  the  lower 
end  of  the  county  on  the  south  to  Knight's  Landing  on  the 
north,  is  a  strip  of  arable  land  which  is  separated  from  the 
main  body  of  grain  lands  by  a  belt  of  tule  or  marsh  lands. 
This  belt  of  land,  which  we  have  classed  as  division  one, 
varies  in  width  from  one-eighth  to  one  mile,  and  extends, 
including  the  sinuosities  of  the  river,  about  forty  or  forty- 


54  THE  WESTERN  SHOEE  GAZETTEER. 

fiye  miles  in  lengtli.  From  Kniglit's  Landing,  where  tlie 
belt  is  broken,  it  continues  to  the  Colusa  line,  but  bearing  the 
same  general  character.  This  portion  of  the  belt,  includ- 
ing Grand  Island,  being  more  properly  under  the  head  of 
grain  lands,  has  been  generally  so  designated,  though  the 
marsh  lands  bordering  it  have  been  classed  with  similar 
land  in  the  county.  All  of  that  portion  which  lies  below 
Washington  is  included  in  the  gardens  of  the  county.  But 
very  little  grain  is  grown  below  that  point — the  land  being 
better  adapted  to  growing  vegetables  and  garden  products. 
Besides,  it  has  been  found  to  be  more  profitable — a  surer 
source  of,  income — when  cultivated  in  that  manner,  than 
when  planted  to  grain.  The  uncertainty  of  the  grain  mar- 
ket, the  constant  and  increasing  demand  for  vegetables  and 
fruits,  and  the  peculiar  adaptability  of  the  soil  for  this  par- 
ticular branch  of  industry,  has  had  the  efiect  of  almost 
totally  excluding  grain  culture  from  this  division  of  the 
county. 

Another  cause  works  strongly  in  favor  of  gardening,  as 
compared  with  the  culture  of  the  cereals.  We  refer  to  the 
annual  overflows,  which,  for  a  limited  portion  of  the  year, 
hold  these  lands  completely  locked  in  their  embrace.  Al- 
though large  and  strong  levees  have  been  constructed  along 
the  river  banks,  they  are  security  against  the  river  floods 
alone,  and  are  powerless  to  prevent  the  inroads  of  the  wa- 
ters which  accumulate  in  the  tule  marshes,  having  been  dis- 
charged there  from  the  mighty  torrents  which  annually  find 
their  way  from  the  mountains  to  the  plains,  through  the 
swollen  channels  of  Cache  and  Putah  crocks,  their  numer- 
ous tributaries  and  the  many  creeks  and  gulches  Avliich, 
though  dry  and  dusty  in  the  sumnier,  are  roaring  torrents 
in  the  winter.  This  Avater,  not  finding  an  available  outlet 
to  the  sea  of  sufficient  capacity  to  readily  discharge  its 
vast  volume,  "sets  back"  over  the  lands  adjoining  the 
river,  and  almost  completely  submerges  them,  for  months 
at  a  time. 

The  quantity  of  land  thus  submerged,  which  is  afterward 
made  available,  varies  in  bulk  according  to  the  severity  of 
the  winter;  but,  until  the  rainy  season  has  passed,  it  is  un- 


YOLO  COUNTY.  55 

safe  and  unwise  to  cultivate  any  portion  of  tlie  land  wliicli 
is  subject  to  inundation. 

The  bed  of  tlie  river  has,  doubtless,  underwent  many 
changes,  as  the  valley  is  one  vast  deposit.  It  can  hardly  be 
supposed  that  the  river  has  known  only  its  present  chan- 
nel, though  the  trees  which  line  its  banks  are  indications 
that  many  years  have  elapsed  since  the  present  channel  was 
formed. 

But  in  many  places  the  channel  has  shifted  very  materi- 
ally, within  the  memory  of  the  old  settlers.  Close  by  where 
Mr.  Conrad's  house  is  standing,  the  proprietor  hauled  his 
seine,  in  '49  and  '50,  over  one  of  the  best  fishing  grounds 
on  the  river.  Now  the  river  is  three  hundred  yards  dis- 
tant, and  the  intervening  space  is  overgrown  with  large 
willows,  vines  and  a  dense  undergrowth. 

Older  evidences  of  changes  are  not  wanting;  also  evi- 
dences tending  to  show  that  the  southern  end  of  the  county 
has  all  been  made  from  the  annual  deposits  of  the  river. 

A  few  years  since,  Mr.  J.  C.  Eay,  while  sinking  a  well  on 
his  place,  a  hundred  yards  or  more  from  the  river,  came  on 
the  body  of  a  tree,  twelve  inches  in  diameter,  bedded  in  a 
strata  of  gravel  twenty-four  feet  below  the  surface.  Tour 
feet  above  this,  he  passed  through  a  strata  of  blue  clay, 
and  above  that  still  was  a  sand-bed.  At  seventy  feet,  a  bed 
of  gray  or  ocean  sand,  thickly  interspersed  with  large  ma- 
rine shells,  was  found.  Beneath  this,  good  water  was  ob- 
tained, and  the  well  was  dug  no  farther.  We  might  enu- 
merate many  instances  where  it  has  been  demonstrated  that 
a  large  portion  of  these  lands,  and  probably  the  whole  body, 
has  been  formed  by  deposits  from  the  main  river  and  its 
tributaries,  but  it  is  unnecessary. 

This  class  of  lands,  or  ■  most  of  them,  have  been  reclaimed 
at  great  cost.  Originally,  covered  with  a  dense  growth  of 
scrub-oak,  willow,  briers,  wild  grape  and  other  vines,  the 
expense  attending  on  clearing  the  lands  and  fitting  them  for 
cultivation,  was  very  great,  ranging  from  one  hundred  to 
one  hundred  and  eighty  dollars  per  acre. 

After  the  underbrush  had  been  cleared  and  burned  off, 
the  roots  were  ' '  grubbed "  or  dug  out,  before  a  plow  could 


66  THE  WESTEEN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

be  put  in  the  ground.  Not  only  for  one  year,  but  for  sev- 
eral years,  after  the  first  clearing,  must  the  grubbing  process 
be  repeated,  until  the  green  sprouts  are  thoroughly  eradi- 
cated, and  the  remains  of  the  old  roots  are  entirely  de- 
stroyed. 

The  labor  on  these  lands  ceased  not  with  the  eradication 
of  the  first  growth  of  brush  and  vines.  Frequently  the 
floods  would  wash  over  them,  destroying  orchards  and  gar- 
dens, and,  in  a  few  days  or  hours,  obliterate  every  trace  of 
years  of  patient  toil;  and  the  orchards  must  be  planted 
again,  the  fences  rebuilt,  the  garden  reclaimed  again — or 
the  farm  be  abandoned.  In  several  cases,  the  latter  course 
has  been  adopted,  but  not  until  after  repeated  trials,  which 
left  the  unlucky  gardener  hopelessly  involved — completely 
ruined. 

Many  of  those  lands  which  are  now  in  use  as  gardens 
along  the  river,  are  still  suffering  from  the  effects  of  the 
frequent  overflows.  On  some,  the  wash  and  sediment  has 
been  deposited  to  such  depths  as  to  destroy  the  fertility  of 
the  land,  for  some  years  at  least.  In  some  places,  where, 
but  a  few  years  since,  luxuriant  crops  of  vegetables  were 
grown,  and  where  fine  orchards  were  standing,  every  ves- 
tige of  cultivation  has  passed  away,  and  nothing  is  to  be 
seen  now  but  a  dense  growth  of  willows  and  briers,  among 
which  one  may  occasionally  see  the  tops  of  fence-posts  pro- 
truding six  or  eight  inches  above  the  soil,  where  but  a  few 
years  ago  they  stood  five  feet  above  the  ground.  That 
depth  has  been  filled  in  by  the  deposits  of  the  numerous 
floods  which  have  washed  away  the  top-soil  oft'  some  farms 
only  to  deposit  it  on  others. 

Again,  we  find  farms  sadly  neglected  —  abandoned,  in 
fact,  by  their  former  owners,  and  now  occupied  by  China- 
men, who  rent  and  cultivate  each  a  few  acres.  The  owners 
having  become  discouraged  by  the  frequent  losses  from 
floods,  have  ceased  to  improve  their  lands,  and,  being  un- 
willing to  dispose  of  them  at  ruling  prices,  have  ceased  to 
cultivate  them,  nor  will  any  effort  be  made  to  restore  them 
to  their  former  position,  until  some  system  of  leveeing  shall 
be  devised  and  carried  into  effect  that  shall  guarantee  them 
security  against  future  devastation. 


YOLO  COUNTY.  57 

That  portion  of  the  river  lands  now  under  cidtivation 
commands  a  high  price  and  rental  per  acre.  Good  garden 
land  near  Washington  sells  from  fifty  to  two  hundred  dol- 
lars per  acre,  and  rents  at  fifteen  to  twenty-five  dollars, 
cash,  rent. 

The  general  products  are  vegetables  of  various  varieties — 
the  principal  being  corn,  melons,  cucumbers,  sweet  pota- 
toes and  peanuts.  The  amount  of  land  annually  under 
cultivation  in  vegetables  or  garden,  including  that  in  other 
portions  of  the  county,  amounts  to  about  twenty -five  hundred 
acres — yielding  an  annual  income  to  the  owners  or  culti- 
vators, of  one  hundred  and  thirty  thousand  dollars,  and 
afibrding  employment  to  about  three  hundred  men,  a  large 
proportion  of  whom  are  Chinese.  The  remainder  are 
mostly  Portuguese  and  Italians — a  few  French,  Germans 
and  Americans,  being  engaged  in  the  same  occupation. 

With  a  proper  system  of  levees,  that  would  afford  secu- 
rity against  the  floods,  the  number  of  acres  and  working 
force  would  soon  be  quadrupled,  and  an  almost  incalcu- 
lable source  of  wealth  added  to  the  county. 

The  effects  of  the  floods  are  not  alone  devastated  farms. 
In  many  localities  where  the  lands  have  been  submerged 
but  uninjured  by  wash — owing  to  the  water  backing  up 
over  them  without  a  current — the  lands  have  been  left 
in  a  foul  state— the  seeds  and  roots  of  foul  growth  from 
other  places  having  been  deposited  thereon  by  the  water 
and  taken  firm  hold  of  their  new  location  as  soon  as 
the  floods  subsided.  Once  established,  it  is  found  to 
be  very  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  eradicate  them  by 
cultivation  —  in  fact,  the  morning  glory,  a  vine  of  rapid 
growth,  seems  to  thrive  under  the  severest  system  of 
cultivation.  Every  joint  of  root  which  is  broken  by 
the  plow,  if  left  on  or  in  the  soil,  takes  a  new  start 
and  soon  becomes  another  vine,  spreading  its  branches 
far  and  wide  and  choking  all  other  growth  around  it. 
The  joint-grass  thrives  still  better,  when  disturbed  and 
broken  up  by  the  plow  or  hoe.  Every  joint,  when  separ- 
ated from  the  parent  stem,  throws  out  roots  and  attaches 
itself  to  the  soil  immediately,  and  as  its  roots  extend  but  a

few  inches  below  the  surface,  the  drought  has  no  effect 
upon  it.  In  fact,  this  troublesome  visitor  thrives  equally 
well  above  or  beneath  the  water.  The  cultivation  of  grain, 
fruit  or  vegetables,  will  not  eradicate  these  troublesome 
parasites  that  fatten  on  the  ruins  of  fine  gardens. 

The  only  remedy  left  by  which  to  escape  their  ravages 
seems  to  lie  in  seeding  the  land  to  alfalfa,  the  rapid  growth 
of  which  effectually  chokes  out  the  foul  interlopers.  Many 
of  the  farmers  are  adopting  this  system,  and  many  more 
will  follow  their  example. 

Among  the  dairy  farms  we  find  the  introduction  of  this 
plant  becoming  general,  and  the  farmers  express  themselves 
as  being  well  satisfied  with  the  results.  Under  another 
head  we  shall  treat  more  fully  of  this  matter. 

The  dairy  farms  on  the  Sacramento  are  worthy  of  especial 
notice,  and  several  of  them  will  be  mentioned  under  the 
head  of  dairy  farms. 

Among  the  most  prominent  of  the  dairymen  who  have 
located  in  Merritt  Township,  we  might  refer  to  J.  B.  Green, 
whose  ranch  lies  in  Yolo  and  Sacramento  counties,  being 
divided  by  the  river.  The  location  is  one  of  the  pleas- 
autest  on  the  river,  being  situated  on  the  island  formed  by 
Elk  Slough  on  one  side  and  the  river  on  the  other.  On 
the  same  island  are  the  dairy  ranches  of  Mr.  Cave,  Mr. 
Childs  and  scA^eral  others. 

The  Sacramento  Eiver  lands  possess  much  of  interest, 
notAvithstanding  the  fact  that  in  many  cases  the  farms  have 
been  neglected  and  permitted  to  become  overnm  with 
weeds,  briars  and  bushes,  while  the  buildings  have  fallen 
into  disuse  and  consequent  decay.  These  lands  were  the 
very  earliest  settled  in  the  county,  with  one  exception,  and 
many  arc  still  living  on  the  ranches  they  occupied  in  1849 
and  1850.  The  mulberry  orchards,  the  cocooneries,  with 
but  one  or  two  exceptions,  are  situated  on  the  river.  The 
only  chickory-growing  and  manufacturing  establishment  in 
the  State  is  on  one  of  these  river  farms,  and  the  finest 
orchards  and  vegetable  gardens  of  the  county  are  located 
here.  As  a  general  rule,  the  water  along  the  river  is  excel- 
lent, being  much  colder  than  that  found  further  back  and

on  those  plains  not  subject  to  overflow.  Grain  does  not 
succeed  as  well  on  the  river  farms  as  it  does  on  the  j)lains, 
excepting  in  very  dry  seasons.  It  grows  too  rank,  and  is 
apt  to  fall  without  ripening,  when  a  new  crop  grows  imme- 
diately, mixing  with  that  which  has  partially  ripened,  ren- 
dering it  unfit  for  harvest  and  difficult  to  save. 

Vegetable  gardens  line  the  river  bank  for  miles,  inter- 
spersed with  orchard^  and  occasional  grain  fields.  No- 
where in  the  State  do  vegetables  grow  in  greater  profusion, 
or  attain  a  larger  size.  Mammoth  squashes,  melons,  beets, 
etc.,  under  a  liberal  system  of  cultivation,  are  tlie  rule — 
the  dwarf,  shrunken  specimens  being  rarely  found.  The 
result  of  the  numerous  overflows  has  been,  in  most  cases, 
beneficial  to  the  gardening  interest.  In  many  places  the  soil 
is  but  sediment— a  loose,  fine  sand,  in  which  the  foot  sinks 
to  the  ankle  whenever  placed  upon  the  yielding  surface. 
This  sand  is  thoroughly  mixed  with  a  fine  loam,  of  exceed- 
ing fertility,  rendering  it  very  productive.  Sweet  potatoes 
grow  to  an  unprecedented  size,  possessing  a  flavor  second 
to  none  raised  elsewhere.  Berries  of  diflerent  varieties 
are  successfully  cultivated  and  yield  handsome  returns. 
The  mulberry  grows  very  rank  in  this  soil,  and  requires  but 
little,  if  any,  care  beyond  the  planting  and  cultivation 
necessary  to  keep  down  the  weeds. 

Peaches,  pears,  apricots,  nectarines,  plums,  cherries, 
quinces,  figs,  and  many  other  varieties  of  fruit,  reach  their 
greatest  perfection  along  the  river,  but  grapes  fail  of  reach- 
ing the  high  excellence  attained  in  other  parts  of  the 
county  and  State,  though  they  are  rather  extensively  culti- 
vated. The  apple  thrives  better  along  the  river  than  else- 
where in  the  county — the  fruit  being  more  crisp  and  juicy, 
and  growing  to  a  larger  size.  The  extreme  heat  of  the 
summer  is  injurious  to  this  fruit  in  the  more  exposed 
plains.  Along  the  river  there  is  generally  a  breeze,  cooler 
and  more  invigorating  than  that  which  sweeps  the  plains  at 
certain  periods,  which  has  a  tendency  to  preserve  the  apple 
from  the  effects  of  the  sun's  rays.  But,  with  this  in  its 
favor,  we  find  no  apples  which,  for  solidity  of  texture, 
flavor  or  general  appearance,  can  compare  favorably  with 


60  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

those  grown  in  tlie  mountains  eitlier  of  the  Coast  Eange  or 
tlie  Sierras.  Tlie  apple  requires  a  colder  climate,  a  rocky 
soil,  frosts,  snows  and  marked  changes  of  seasons,  to  en- 
able it  to  reach  its  perfection.  For  the  earliest  varieties — 
those  which  ripen  and  are  gone  ere  the  long-heated  term  is 
fairly  upon  us — the  river  farms  will  do  as  well  or  better 
than  any  portion  of  the  county;  for  those  varieties  of  later 
gi-owth,  that  require  a  season  in  whibh  to  ripen,  the  river 
farms  as  well  as  the  plains  present  no  qualifications  nor 
inducements  to  orchardists. 

Grapes  fail  from  over-moisture,  probably,  as  the  Avood 
grows  very  rank  and  rapidly.  The  vines  appear  to  be  well 
sheltered  during  the  growing  season;  the  fruit  sets  finely 
and  presents  the  most  encouraging  aspect  until  a  certain 
period,  when  the  mildew  or  blight  seizes  upon  it,  and  the 
stand  becomes  worthless.  Such  is  not  the  case  at  all  times, 
but  so  frequently  does  it  occur  that  grapes  cannot  be  con- 
sidered a  sure  crop  along  the  river,  and  many  have  either 
destroyed  their  vines  entirely,  or  sufi'ered  their  vineyards 
to  go  to  decay  and  consequent  ruin.  We  do  not  wish  to 
convey  the  idea  that  this  is  the  case  in  all  parts  of  the  county 
which  borders  on  the  river,  for  some  localities,  where  the 
land  along  the  river  bank  is  high,  the  grape  flourishes  very 
well,  but  still  not  on  an  equality  with  those  grown  on  the 
plains,  the  foot-hills  or  the  mountains. 

Grapes,  like  the  apple,  thrive  best  on  ruder  soil,  where 
the  bed-rock  is  near  the  surface,  and  the  roots  of  the  vine 
can  readily  feed  on  its  peculiar  properties.  These  facts  will 
be  further  treated  under  the  head  of  vineyards. 

"Woodland  Farms 
In  the  immediate  vicinity  of  Woodland,  the  soil  is  mostly 
composed  of  a  sandy  loam,  with  a  gravelly  subsoil.  The 
depth  of  soil  is  not  as  great  as  in  some  localities,  owing  to 
tlie  fact  that  a  gravelly  elevation  extends  for  some  distance 
around  the  place  on  which  the  town  is  located.  Yet  these 
lands  possess  a  strong  soil,  and,  with  proper  cultivation, 
yield  handsome  returns.     The  gravelly  elevation  spoken  of 


YOLO  COUNTY.  61 

is,  however,  better  adapted  to  fruit  and  vines  than  grain — 
the  former  growing  most  hixuriantly. 

Within  one  and  a  half  miles  of  Woodland  are  some  very- 
valuable  grain  farms,  among  which  may  be  mentioned 

Clanton's  Farm. 

This  farm  contains  six  hundred  and  forty  acres  of  excel- 
lent grain  land,  well  fenced  and  improved.  It  is  peculiarly 
adapted  to  grain-raising,  and  ranks  among  the  best  grain 
farms  in  the  vicinity  of  Woodland. 

To  the  north  of  Woodland,  the  land  slopes  away  to  Cache 
Creek,  increasing  in  fertility  and  materially  changing  in 
quality  of  soil,  becoming  more  mixed  with  sand  on  the  sur- 
face, and  changing  to  a  clayish  subsoil.  With  the  excep- 
tion of  a  narrow  strip  of  cold,  swampy  ground,  which  ex- 
tends up  toward  the  town  from  the  sink  of  Cache  Creek,  a 
fine  body  of  grain  land  is  presented,  which  is  all  under  suc- 
cessful cultivation. 

The  average  yield  of  wheat  for  this  section  can  be  safely 
estimated  at  thirty  bushels  per  acre,  in  favorable  seasons, 
though  frequent  cases  are  mentioned  where  the  yield  is 
much  higher — forty  to  fifty  bushels  per  acre  having  been 
harvested. 

Immediately  west  from  town,  we  find  the  lands  of  excel- 
lent quality,  until  we  arrive  at  the  gravelly,  red  soil  referred 
to,  which  will  be  spoken  of  in  another  article. 

Willow  Slough  Farms. 
Along  the  banks  of  Willow  Slough  are  some  of  the  finest 
and  most  valuitble  farms  in  the  county.  Their  value  is  not 
enhanced  from  the  supposition  that  they  are  of  a  better 
quality  of  soil  (which  is  not  always  the  case)  than  those 
farms  situated  in  other  parts  of  the  county,  but  rather  from 
their  superior  location,  their  proximity  to  the  railroad,  and 
the  great  advantages  arising  from  having  a  plentiful  supply 
of  living  water  convenient  of  access  for  stock.  This  con- 
sideration alone  is  suflicient,  in  the  minds  of  many,  to  induce 
them  to  pay  or  ask  a  price  for  those  lands  far  above  that 


62  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

realized  for  other  lands  of  equal  qualities  of  soil,  yet  lack- 
ing the  great  desideratum — water — living,  running  water. 

The  farms  immediately  bordering  the  slough,  and  situated 
on  its,  eastern  bank,  of  which  we  propose  to  speak,  with 
but  few  exceptions,  possess  a  soil  superior,  in  many  respects, 
to  that  found  a  feAv  miles  away  from  the  bank  of  the  stream. 
Especially  is  this  the  case  in  considering  much  of  the  land 
lying  to  the  eastAvard  of  the  lower  body  of  water,  and  dis- 
tant a  few  miles  therefrom.  The  loam,  comprising  the  top- 
dressing  of  the  slough  lands,  is  deej)er  and  more  mixed 
with  sediment  from  former  wash  and  overflow,  which  gives 
the  land  a  lighter,  looser  bearing,  especially  protecting  it 
against  drought.  In  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  the 
last  division  of  the  slough,  as  soon  as  the  higher  land  bor- 
dering the  stream  is  left,  the  whole  aspect  of  the  soil  is 
changed  entirely.  One  would  hardly  suppose  that  two 
classes  of  land,  so  entirely  opposite  in  their  nature  and 
properties,  would  be  found  in  such  close  proximity.  The 
one  possessed  of  a  clear,  lively,  warm  and  strong  soil — a 
mixture  of  clay-loam  and  sand-sediment,  capable  of  pro- 
ducing the  most  luxurious  crops  of  cereals,  well  adapted  to 
gardening,  vines  or  orchards — while  the  other  is  cold,  heavy 
and  backward,  composed  more  of  decayed  vegetation  than 
other  material;  entirely  diiferent  though  from  regular  tule 
or  adobe  soil;  thickly  splashed  with  barren,  alkali  spots,  on 
which  no  vegetation  grows — the  whole  comprising  land  of 
but  little  value  for  aught  else  than  grazing  purposes. 

This  difference  in  quality,  when  understood,  will  account 
for  the  gi-eat  difference  in  the  valuation  of  farms  Avhich  are 
situated  in  the  same  neighborhood — in  fact,  joining  each 
other.  On  some  of  the  farms  bordering  Willow  Slough,  on 
the  east  side,  these  alkali  patches  occur  occasionally,  de- 
S|troying  several  acres  in  a  farm,  while  the  land  immediately 
surrounding  these  barren  places  is  of  excellent  quality,  and 
produces  good  crops. 

Dr.  Ruddock's  Farm. 
In  following  up  the  slough  on  the  west  or  Woodland  side, 
we  find  some  farms  worthy  of  especial  mention,  as  being 


YOLO  COUNTY.  63 

peculiarly  adapted  to  various  branches  of  farming.  The 
farm  of  Dr.  Kuddock,  embracing  one  hundred  and  sixty 
acres  of  land,  owing  to  the  remarkable  manner  in  which  it 
is  watered,  is  unsurpassed  in  its  adaptability  to  be  rendered 
a  small  model  farm.  As  now  arranged,  about  ninety-five 
acres  are  in  grain,  the  remainder  being  used  as  pasturage. 
The  farm  is  divided  by  fences  in  four  fields,  in  each  of  which 
is  living  water-^the  slough,  and  those  three  remarkable 
w^ells  or  springs  spoken  of  in  the  article  on  "Willow  Slough. 
The  Doctor  has  about  two  acres  of  sweet  almonds,  which 
are  doing  finely,  yielding  a  good  crop  each  year.  They  are 
seedlings,  and  were  planted  by  him  but  a  few  years  since. 
As  a  grain,  fruit  or  stock-ranch,  it  is  equal  to  the  best  and 
inferior  to  none.  A  farm  of  this  size,  when  properly  pre- 
pared for  stock  grazing,  by  seeding  down  in  alfalfa,  well 
watered  as  it  is,  would  become  of  far  more  profit  to  the 
owner  than  it  can  possibly  be  while  under  grain  cultivation; 
or,  used  as  a  garden,  with  the  advantages  possessed  by  this 
particular  farm  for  irrigation,  it  could  be  rendered  very  val- 
uable. 

Merritt's  Farm. 
Another  class  of  farms—  t.  e.,  large  grain  farms — is  well 
represented  on  the  slough  by  the  farm  of  Merritfc  Brothers, 
containing  about  seventeen  hundred  acres  of  the  finest 
quality  of  wheat  land.  This  fine  body  of  land  is  well 
watered,  lying  on  both  sides  of  the  slough,  and  is  devoted 
to  raising  grain.  Taken  as  a  whole,  it  ranks  among  the 
most  valuable  farms  in  the  county.  It  is  improved  in  ad- 
'  vance  of  many,  with  orchard  and  vineyard.  The  dwelling- 
house  is  one  of  the  best  in  the  county,  and  adds  much  to 
the  value  of  the  place.  This  farm  is  peculiarly  adapted  to 
alfalfa,  and  could  readily  be  transformed  into  a  stock  farm 
of  great  value. 

Ballard's  Farm. 
Further  up  the  slough  we  find  the  farm  of  Mr.  F.  Bui- 
lard,  one  of  the  best-improved  grain  farms  in  that  part  of 
the  county.     The   annual  product  per  acre   is  above  the 
general  average — partly  owing  to  superior  soil,  but  more  to 


64  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

superior  cultivation.  This  farm  is  also  well  adapted  to 
alfalfa  and  stock,  and  could  be  rendered  very  productive 
and  profitable  in  connection  therewith. 

It  is  evident  that  those  farms  possessing  the  advantages 
of  running  water  and  a  good  soil  combined — and  there  are 
but  few  in  the  county  thus  situated — are  and  will  be  of  far 
more  value  than  those  farms  deficient  in  this  particular. 
Where  water  must  be  raised  by  pumps  for  stock  purposes, 
it  adds  no  small  item  to  yearly  expenses^consequently  de- 
tracting from  the  value  of  a  farm,  when  compared  with  one 
possessing  the  advantage  of  living  water.  This  may  serve 
to  show  why,  in  the  valuations  of  land,  we  have  placed  the 
Willow  Slough  farms  in  advance  of  others  whose  soil  is 
equally  rich.  There  are  other  portions  where  the  soil  is  as 
rich  and  as  deep — perhaps  better  for  general  farming — 
but  they  lack  the  essential  advantages  enumerated  above. 
This  body  of  land,  though  well  watered,  is  safe  from  over- 
flow— an  exception  to  most  of  the  lands  bordering  the 
streams.  The  quality  of  soil  which  characterizes  this  sec- 
tion is  not  confined  to  this  locality,  but  extends  for  some 
distance  south  and  north  of  the  slough,  embracing  some  of 
the  best  farming  lands  in  the  county.  Of  these  we  will 
speak  in  other  articles,  beginning  with  the 

Plainfield  Farms. 

Plainfield,  or  Plainfield  Schoolhouse,  is  situated  on  the 
north  side  of  Dry  Slough,  seven  and  one-half  miles  south 
from  Woodland,  in  the  midst  of  a  very  fertile  portion  of 
the  county.  There  are  two  blacksmith  shops,  one  store, 
and  one  saloon,  on  the  south  bank  of  the  slough.  As  its 
name  indicates,  the  slough  is  but  a  dry  ravine,  excepting 
during  the  prevalence  of  heavy  rains,  when  it  drains  a  large 
tract  of  the  plains  of  their  surplus  waters. 

It  is  intended  by  the  citizens  adjacent  to  this  place  to 
apply  to  the  Department  for  the  establishment  of  a  post- 
office  at  the  Corners,  on  the  south  side  of  the  slough.  They 
certainly  need  one  at  that  point,  as  their  nearest  post-office 
is  Davisville,  about  five  miles  distant. 


YOLO  COUNTY.  65 

That  portion  of  tlie  county  commonl}'  designated  as 
"Plainfield,"  and  lying  south  of  Dry  Slough,  possesses 
man}^  of  the  advantages  and  peculiar  properties  which  char- 
acterize the  Willow  Slough  lands.  Though  not  possessing 
the  advantage  of  running  water,  these  lands  are  easier  sup- 
plied with  this  needed  element  than  the  average  grain  lands 
of  the  county. 

The  water  is  found  very  near  the  surface,  a  plentiful  sup- 
ply being  obtained  at  from  nine  to  twelve  feet.  An  ordi- 
narj,  cheap  windmill,  in  connection  with  a  Douglass  pump, 
is  found  to  be  sufficient  for  all  farming  purposes  and  even 
the  watering  of  large  bands  of  stock. 

The  soil  of  these  lands  is  deep,  the  top  dressing  being 
generally  a  gravelly,  sandy  loam,  easily  cultivated  and  in 
ordinary  seasons  producing  bountiful  harvests.  Wheat  is 
the  principal  production,  but  few,  if  any,  of  the  farmers 
raising  more  barley  than  is  sufficient  to  feed  their  teams. 
Summer-fallow  is  not  resorted  to  in  this  section  as  much  as 
in  many  other  parts  of  the  county,  for  two  reasons:  1st. 
The  natural  looseness  of  the  soil  enables  the  farmers  in  this 
locality  to  start  their  plows  in  the  fall,  when  but  little  rain 
has  fallen — not  enough  to  enable  the  farmers  on  clay  land 
to  begin  work.  And  again,  when  excessive  rains  have 
rendered  clay  land  too  wet  for  immediate  cultivation,  these 
lands  are  but  little  affected  thereby,  and  it  is  seldom  that 
the  plows  cease  running  for  that  reason.  The  second  rea- 
son is,  that  a  large  part  of  the  soil  of  the  Plainfield  lands 
is  very  rich,  and  when  fallowed  before  a  favorable  season 
the  grain  grows  so  luxurious  that  it  generally  falls,  or  be- 
comes "lodged,"  while  the  berry  is  in  the  milk,  causing  a 
shrinkage  of  the  kernel,  besides  entailing  an  additional 
expense  and  loss  in  harvesting.  Taking  this  part  of  the 
county  as  a  section,  it  is  second  to  none  in  its  resources  or 
in  its  productiveness.  Some  of  the  largest  farms  and 
wealthiest  farmers  of  the  county  are  to  be  found  in  this 
district. 

G-reen's  Ranch. 

Among  the   farms    located   here,    we  mention    that   of 
5 


66  THE  WESTEKN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

Cliarles  E.  Green,  as  being  one  of  the  largest,  and  we 
think  the  best  improved,  in  this  section.  In  improvements 
it  ranks  second  to  no  large  farm  in  the  county.  It  contains 
twelve  hundred  and  eighty  acres  of  land,  of  superior  qual- 
ity, all  inclosed  with  a  five-board  fence  with  redwood  posts. 
It  is  divided  into  several  fields,  containing,  respectively, 
ten  acres,  eighty  acres,  thirty  acres,  forty  acres  and  four 
hundred  acres — the  remainder  of  the  farm  being  in  one 
large  field.  For  the  purpose  of  comparing  the  present 
appearance  of  the  county,  or  portions  of  it,  with  the  past, 
we  will  note  the  general  appearance  of  this  farm  and  com- 
pare it  with  its  appearance  a  few  years  since. 

The  first  dwelling-house  erected  on  the  ranch  is  still 
standing,  a  low,  one-story,  wooden  structure,  twelve  by 
twenty  feet.  In  that  house  the  first  settler  on  the  farm 
lived  for  some  years,  while  pursuing  his  labors,  and  doubt- 
less considered  that  he  had  a  very  good  and  comfortable 
mansion.  It  was  also  occupied  by  the  present  owner  of 
the  farm  before  he  felt  himself  able  to  improve  the  place 
according  to  his  ideas  of  comfort  and  convenience. 

The  dwelling-house  now  occupied  by  the  family  is  a  two- 
story  frame,  twenty-four  by  seventy-two  feet,  with  an  L, 
twenty-four  by  forty-eight  feet;  hard-finished  and  well  fur- 
nished throughout,  and  ornamented  with  front  and  rear 
piazzas.  A  large  and  deep  cellar,  with  brick  walls  and 
floor,  laid  in  cement,  and  brick  foundation,  complete  the 
lower  division  of  the  building.  Eats  or  mice  can  find  no 
refuge  around  the  building.  By  perfect  ventilation  the 
cellar  is  kept  cool  and  sweet,  where  the  milk  is  kept  in  the 
warmest  weather,  enabling  them  to  make  butter  alike  in 
the  warm  or  cool  seasons.  For  the  rainy  or  cool  season,  a 
pantry  above  ground  is  used  for  dairy  purposes,  where  the 
temperature  can  be  regulated,  by  artificial  means,  to  any 
required  degree. 

^"  A  rain-water  cistern,  brick,  laid  in  cement,  holding  six 
thousand  gallons,  receives  the  water  from  the  house-roof, 
and  stores  it,  from  whence  it  is  raised  by  a  pump  as 
needed.     The  stock  of  groceries  and  provisions  to  be  seen 


YOLO  COUNTY.  67 

in  the  store-room  is  sufficient  to  furnish  an  ordinary  gro- 
cery store  with  more  than  an  average  stock. 

In  addition  to  the  main  dwelling,  and  but  a  few  yards 
from  it,  is  the  headquarters  of  the  men  employed  on  the 
place.  This  building  cost  twelve  hundred  dollars,  and  has 
ample  accommodations  for  all  employed  —  the  sleeping 
apartments  being  superior  to  those  of  many  farmers'  fami- 
lies. 

The  main  barn  is  sixty-four  by  ninety-six  feet.  The  main 
body  of  the  building  will  'store  two  hundred  tons  of  hay, 
besides  containing  the  mill  in  which  all  the  horse-feed  and 
hog-feed  required  are  ground. 

The  stables  have  room  for  twenty-two  horses,  and  are 
light  and  airy. 

The  improvements  on  this  place  have  cost  about  twenty 
thousand  dollars,  including  orchard  and  shade  trees.  Eight 
hundred  and  fifty  locust  trees  have  been  planted,  and  the 
owner  of  the  place  intends  to  plant  several  acres  more, 
during  the  coming  winter,  as  a  future  supply  of  wood  and 
also  to  break  the  force  of  the  winds  which  at  times  do 
much  damage.  There  being  no  timber  on  this  portion  of 
the  plains,  it  becomes  almost  a  necessity  that  timber  be 
grown;  if  not  for  its  beauty  and  shade,  the  scanty  supply 
of  wood  demands  it. 

Where  these  improvements  now  are,  twelve  years  ago  the 
plains  were  bare  of  aught  save  the  little  frame  house  we 
referred  to  and  a  small  shelter  for  stock.  Twenty  years 
ago  no  signs  of  improvement  or  progressive  life  were  vis- 
ible. Mark  the  change,  and  draw  your  own  inferences 
regarding  the  rapid  growth  and  development  of  Yolo 
County. 

Buckeye  Grain  Lands. 

The  farming  lands  of  Buckeye  Township  are  varied  in 
character  and  value — or,  to  use  the  common  term,  they  are 
"spotted."  There  are  some  of  the  best  grain  lands  in  the 
county  in  that  township,  and  some  of  the  poorest.  The 
main  body  of  grain  land  bordering  the  foot-hills  and  ex- 
tending eastward  is  generally  of  excellent  character  until  it 


68  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

unites  "witli  the  red  gravel  belt  which  extends  through  a 
portion  of  this  and  Cottonwood  townships.  The  general 
character  of  the  soil  is  very  different  from  that  which  sur- 
rounds Woodland,  and  the  change  is  for  the  better,  as  far 
as  grain  raising  is  concerned. 

East  of  the  Town  of  Buckeye  the  gravel,  alkalied  belt  ap- 
proaches within  a  few  miles,  cutting  off  the  first-class  grain 
lands  very  abruptly.  Southward  the  grain  lands  extend 
unbroken  until  the  border  of  the  county,  or  Putah  Creek, 
is  reached.  Within  this  section  are  many  valuable  farms, 
prominent  among  which  is 


Ely's  Farm. 

This  farm  contains  fourteen  hundred  and  sixty  acres  of 
excellent  grain  land,  all  in  cultivation.  The  soil  is  deep 
and  lively,  partaking  in  a  large  degree  of  mountain  wash 
and  deposits.  It  is  the  representative  farm  of  the  district, 
and  in  ordinary  seasons  has  thus  far  proved  very  pro- 
ductive. 

Briggs'  Farm, 

Near  by,  is  also  a  noted  place,  and  contains  nine  hundred 
acres  of  grain  land,  all  under  cultivation.  The  general 
character  of  the  soil  is  the  same  as  that  just  described.  In 
addition,  this  farm  possesses  the  advantage  of  having  a 
large  body  of  gi-azing  lands  connected  with  it,  enabling  the 
proprietor  to  divide  his  investments  between  grain  and 
stock.  These  two  farms  may  be  taken  as  examples  of  the 
best  farms  in  the  townShip  or  county.  There  are  many 
others  of  equal  value  according  to  size,  but  we  do  not  think 
of  any  others  which  combine  the  advantages  of  soil  with 
an  equal  or  larger  number  of  acres. 

The  grain  lands  of  Buckeye  which  lie  within  the  alkaline 
belt  are  not  of  very  large  extent.  Situated  as  they  are, 
they  would  be  considered  excellent  by  those  accustomed  to 
cultivate  the  sterile,  rocky  soil  of.  the  Eastern  States.  The 
alkali  spots  are  comparatively  worthless,  yet  the  soil  sur- 
rounding them  produces  equal  to  any.     In  some  localities 


i 


YOLO  COUNTY.  69 

whole  farms  are  rendered  of  little  value  by  them;  in  others 
but  cue  or  two  spots  will  be  found  on  a  farm. 

The  average  grain  yield  of  Buckeye  is  equal  to  any  por- 
tion, according  to  the  number  of  acres  cultivated — in  fact, 
when  sections  are  considered,  but  little,  if  any,  difference 
of  yield  per  acre  is  noted. 

Cottonwood  G-rain  Lands. 

The  Township  of  Cottonwood  comprises  the  northwest- 
ern and  part  of  the  central  portion  of  the  county.  The 
quality  of  the  grain  lands  is  more  equal,  presenting  but  few 
places  where  alkali  beds  are  found.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  grain  lands  occupy  more  rolling,  broken  country  than 
we  have  hitherto  described.  Immediately  surrounding  the 
Town  of  Cottonwood  the  land  is  excellent,  though  east- 
erly it  soon  loses  its  characteristics,  and  is  merged  in 
the  belt  of  poor  land  which  enters  the  township  from  that 
direction.  Southerly,  the  land  is  good  until  Buckeye 
Township  is  reached — of  which  we  have  spoken.  "Westerly, 
the  same  quality  of  land  extends,  embracing  the  first  low 
range  of  foot-hills,  many  of  which  possess  a  very  superior 
soil.  The  general  character  of  the  soil  is  a  gravelly  loam 
in  the  lower  lands,  a  clayish  loam  in  the  more  elevated 
portions,  with  a  clay  subsoil  supporting  both  sections. 
Along  the  borders  of  the  small  creeks  we  find  some  farms 
with  soil  composed  entirely  of  mountain  wash  and  sedi- 
ment, rendering  them  very  prominent  among  the  first-class 
farms. 

Again,  we  find  farms  of  clayish  soil,  thickly  covered  with 
slight  elevations  or  knolls,  having  a  harder  crust  and  pos- 
sessing a  colder  nature,  though  yielding  bountiful  harvests. 
The  marked  difference  in  the  grain  lands  of  this  township 
consists  in  these  divisions,  which  are  slight,  when  we  con- 
sider the  strong  contrast  existing  in  other  localities. 

Another  division  should  be  noted — that  caused  hj  Cache 
Creek,  which  extends  through  the  township.  The  borders 
of  this  stream  possess  a  soil  similar  to  the  river  lands,  though 
not  as  deep  or  lasting.     The  gravel-beds  which  underlie  it 


70  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

are  nearer  the  surface,  and  tlie  loam  partakes  more  of  the 
character  of  mountain  wash  than  river  deposits.  In  color 
it  assimilates  with  the  river  front,  with  but  this  difference — 
a  reddish-brown  cast  abounds,  which  is  found  only  along 
the  banks  of  the  mountain  streams.  The  dark,  rich  tinge 
of  decayed  vegetation  is  here  as  strongly  defined  as  it  is  on 
the  banks  of  the  Sacramento,  with  the  addition  of  the  de- 
composed slate  and  granite  of  the  hills. 

As  fair  representative  farms,  perhaps  among  the  best  of 
these  three  divisions,  we  will  mention  those  of  Scott, 
Stephens  and  McFadyen. 


W.  G-.  Scott's  Farm 

Contains  about  two  thousand  acres  of  grain  land,  all  in  cul- 
tivation. The  main  portion  of  this  grain  land  lies  in  one 
body,  southwest  from  Cottonwood,  some  two  miles  distant. 
This  farm  presents  many  advantages,  and  several  varieties 
of  soil.  A  portion  of  it  belongs  to  the  elevated  jDortion  of 
the  plains,  while  a  part  borders  a  creek,  dry  in  the  summer, 
but  of  sufficient  volume  during  the  heavy  rains  to  enable  it 
to  overflow  its  banks  and  deposit  large  bodies  of  sediment, 
enriching  the  land  thus  overflowed. 

The  advantage  of  a  stock-range  of  several  thousand  acres 
connected  with  this  farm,  renders  it  very  valuable  in  this  re- 
spect. The  grain  land,  as  a  body,  presents  but  little  differ- 
ence in  returns  in  favorable  seasons;  but,  when  drought 
prevails,  the  lower  sandy  soils  present  a  marked  superiority 
in  their  returns,  as  compared  with  the  more  elevated  and 
clayish  soil. 

This  farm  is  but  partially  fenced,  the  grain  land  being 
protected  by  the  stock  laws;  but,  considering  its  size,  there 
are  few  farms  in  the  county  better  improved — none  better 
supplied  with  the  implements  of  farming.  The  machinery, 
wagons  and  stock,  employed  could  not  be  placed  there  for 
less  than  ten  thousand  dollars.  A  blacksmith  and  wagon 
shop  belong  to  the  ranch,  where  all  the  farm  work  is  at- 
tended to.     The  average  number  of  men  employed  is  fif- 


YOLO  COUNTY.  71 

teen;  the  average  wages  paid  is  thirty-two  dollars  and  a  half 
per  month. 

G.  D.  Stephens'  Farm. 

This  farm  lies  on  both  sides  of  Cache  Creek,  and  contains 
about  four  thousand  acres.  The  main  portion  is  excellent 
grain  land,  well  wooded  and  possessing  a  soil  easy  of  culti- 
vation. On  the  margin  of  the  stream,  the  soil  is  deep  and 
very  productive.  A  portion  of  the  land,  lying  between  this 
belt  and  the  lands  of  Kiethly,  partakes  of  a  colder  nature, 
being  interspersed  with  alkali  spots,  and  sedgy,  adobe 
patches.  This  is  used  for  pasturage;  also,  a  low  portion 
adjoining,  on  which  the  water  stands  at  intervals  during 
heavy  rains.  For  a  large  body  of  land,  it  may  be  consid- 
ered very  uniform  in  quality,  and  very  valuable.  It  is  all, 
or  nearly  all,  inclosed  by  a  substantial  fence,  and  other- 
wise well  improved.  It  is  used  as  a  stock  and  grain  farm, 
and  could  be  made  one  of  the  best  stock  farms  in  the  county. 


McFadyen's  Farm. 

This  farm,  well  known  as  the  old  Ben.  Dennis  place,  lies 
between  the  farms  of  Messrs.  Scott  and  Stephens,  and  is 
probably  one  of  the  most  productive  farms  of  its  size  in 
that  section  of  the  county.  It  contains  four  hundred  acres, 
and  is — all  of  it — formed  from  the  deposits  of  Cottonwood 
Creek.  It  is  well  wooded,  having  a  large  grove  of  noble 
oaks — the  largest  of  which  are  seven  feet  in  diameter. 

The  made  soil  on  this  farm  has  been  demonstrated  to 
exceed  ten  feet  in  depth,  and  in  places  it  is  deeper.  Oak 
stumps  have  been  burned  out  which  left  pits  ten,  twelve 
and  even  fifteen  feet  deep,  before  the  walls  showed  a  sign 
to  mark  where  a  root  had  formerly  sprang  from  the  tree, 
showing  conclusively  that  the  land  had  been  made  around 
them  to  that  depth.  In  productiveness,  this  farm  is  unri- 
valed, and  it  deservedly  is  classed  among  the  best  in  the 
county. 

From  this  short  discription  of  three  farms,  representing 
three  varieties  of  grain  lands,  we  can  form  a  fair  estimate 


72  THE  westeiIn  shoee  gazetteer. 

of  the  country  under  consideration.  It  is  true  that  a  few 
fiekls  are  found  in  this  vicinity,  the  surface-soil  of  which  is  a 
variety  of  adobe;  but  little  known  or  understood  excepting 
that,  in  favorable  seasons,  it  yields  good  returns  of  grain. 
It  is  not  like  the  vegetable  compound,  which  is  the  main 
ingredient  in  the  adobe  soils  of  the  marshes;  neither  is  it 
similar  in  color  or  quality  to  the  adobe  hills  found  near  by, 
but  rather  seems  to  partake  of  the  nature  of  sedimentary 
deposits,  beat  back  into  its  present  position  by  long  and 
continued  action  of  wind-driven  waves.  But  of  this  we 
propose  to  speak  in  another  place. 

Capay  Valley. 

This  lovely  valley  is  better  known  under  the  name  of 
Cache  Creek  Caiion — a  name  it  bore  until  a  few  years  since, 
when  it  was  christened  by  the  name  it  now  bears.  The  val- 
ley has  an  average  width  of  one  mile,  and  a  length  of  about 
twenty  miles — according  to  its  windings.  This  body  of 
land  is  among  the  best  grain  lands  of  the  county,  and  with 
the  adjoining  hills  furnishes  many  fine  stock-farms.  It  is 
well  wooded  and  watered.  Cache  Creek  extending  through 
its  entire  length.  The  main  body  of  the  valley  is  under 
cultivation,  and  crops  have  been  considered  very  safe  and 
sure  in  this  locality,  despite  droughts  and  sudden  changes. 
It  is  sheltered,  in  a  great  measure,  from  the  north  winds, 
which  frequently  do  great  damage  to  the  crops  on  the  more 
exposed  portions  of  the  plains.  But  a  few  years  since  this 
land  was  offered  for  sale  at  four  dollars  per  acre.  It  now 
rates  at  from  eight  to  twenty,  showing  the  rapid  increase 
in  value  of  real  estate  in  the  county. 

Hungry  Hollow, 

As  a  portion  of  Cottonwood  Township  is  called,  lies  to  the 
westward  of  Cache  Creek,  bordering  the  foot-hills  which 
skirt  that  portion  of  the  county.  There  are  some  excellent 
farms  in  this  vicinity,  and  we  believe  that  the  farmers  of 
this  locality  are  entitled  to  the  credit  of  having  grown  the 


YOLO   COUNTY.  73 

best  wheat  in  tlie  county  for  tlie  two  last  years.  The  gen- 
eral character  of  the  soil  differs  but  little,  if  any,  from  the 
main  plains,  of  which  the  valley  is  but  a  continuance — an 
arm  of  the  vast  body  which  covers  so  large  a  portion  of 
the  county.  The  grain  lands  sweep  away  to  and  embrace 
the  low  hills,  presenting  only  this  change  in  the  general 
appearance.  There  are  places  where  the  prevailing  grav- 
elly loam  gives  place  to  adobe  mixture,  but  these  changes 
are  neither  frequent  nor  marked  sufficiently  to  deserve  es- 
pecial mentioa.  The  available  land  in  this  section  is  all 
claimed  and  mostly  under  cultivation.  Within  a  few  years 
we  may  confidently  expect  this  section  to  become  one  of 
the  wealthiest  in  the  county. 


Prairie  Lands. 

This  body  of  land,  lying  north  of  Cacheville,  ranks 
among  the  iirst-class  grain  lands,  possessing  the  general 
characteristics  of  the  land  described  and  requiring  no  fur- 
ther description.  The  same  can  be  said  of  the  body  of 
lands  lying  between  the  foot-hills  and  the  tules,  from 
Knight's  landing  to  the  Colusa  line.  With  few  exceptions, 
tlie  suil  is  sandy  or  gravelly  loam  with  clay  subsoil,  and 
produces  well.  It  is  one  vast  grain-field,  which,  in  the 
summer,  is  one  vast  field  of  grain,  and  that  is  about  all 
the'dilt'erence  worth  mentioning.  At  Prairie,  Antelope  or 
Dunnegan's,  the  same  scene  greets  the  eye,  the  same  qual- 
ity of  soil  appears  and  equal  advantages  for  successful - 
grain-culture  are  apparent. 

Cache  Creek  Lands. 

We  have  already  referred  to  these  lands  when  speaking 
of  Capay  Yalley  and  Stephens'  Ranch,  and  therefore  we 
will  briefly  glance  at  the  grain  lands  around  Cacheville. 
Those  fiirms  bordering  the  creek  aud  possessing  the  advan- 
tage of  water  are  held  at  high  figures.  Tiiey  are  well 
wooded,  the  soil  is  deep,  strong  and  lasting.  By  many 
the  land  about  Cacheville  is  considered  the  best  in  the 


74  THE  WESTEBN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

county ;  it  certainly  possesses  great  advantages.  This  lo- 
cality as  well  as  Woodland  possesses  the  advantages  of 
irrigation,  a  ditch  having  been  constructed  which  conveys 
the  water  of  Cache  Creek  over  the  fields  in  that  vicinity. 

From  what  we  have  said  regarding  the  grain  lands  of 
the  county  an  estimate  may  be  made  of  the  advantages  of 
each  section;  also  the  extent  and  value  of  the  grain  lands 
of  the  county. 

We  will  now  glance  at  the  principal 

Dairy  Farms. 

The  dairy  interest  is  now  attracting  considerable  atten- 
tion in  all  parts  of  the  State,  and  of  late  years  several 
citizens  of  Yolo  County  have  turned  their  attention  solely 
to  this  branch  of  industry.  Butter  and  cheese  command  a 
good  price  and  will  for  many  years  to  come,  sufficient  to 
render  the  business  more  remunerative  than  grain-raising, 
taking  one  year  with  another.  The  average  price  obtained 
for  cheese  is  about  seventeen  cents  per  pound,  though  fa- 
vorite brands  often  rate  higher.  A  fair  average  of  the 
range  of  butter  prices  would  be  about  forty-five  cents, 
though  prices  range  from  fifty  to  sixty  and  as  high  as  sixty- 
five  cents  per  pound  during  the  winter.  Many  of  the 
dairymen  are  adopting  the  plan  of  milking  their  cows  in 
the  fall  and  winter  months,  when  butter  commands  a  high 
price,  and  allowing  them  to  become  dry  when  the  open- 
ing of  spring  grazing  brings  a  large  number  of  competitors 
in  the  field  and  the  price  of  butter  becomes  reduced  to 
thirty  or  thirty-five  cents  per  pound. 

A  very  large  sum  finds  its  way  to  the  East  from  our  State, 
annually,  that  might  be  retained  here,  would  our  farmers 
but  avail  themselves  of  the  advantages  ofi'ered  by  Nature 
in  this  respect. 

It  is  evident  that  where  the  business  is  conducted  sys- 
tematically, dairying  cannot  fail  of  being  profitable.  When 
we  compare  the  prices  obtained  for  butter  and  cheese  (first 
class)  here  with  the  price  realized  by  Eastern  dairymen  for 
their  products,  the  proof  in  favor  of  the  correctness  of  our 


YOLO  COUNTY.  75 

proposition  is  ample.  We  are  all  well  aware  that  tlie  dairy- 
counties  of  the  Eastern  States  are  the  wealthiest  portions 
of  those  communities,  and  that  the  individuals  composing 
that  class  are  far  in  advance  of  their  neighbors  of  the  same 
localities  who  follow  the  more  precarious  occupation  of 
cultivating  grain. 

We  have  every  natural  facility  for  successful  dairying, 
with  the  sole  exception  of  tame  grasses;  but  this  is  easily 
remedied  in  many  localities,  as  has  been  demonstrated  by 
farmers  near  Woodland  and  on  the  Sacramento  Eiver. 
They  have  overcome  this  objection  by  seeding  their  lands 
with  alfalfa,  which  secures  to  them  green  pastures  during 
the  year. 

Besides  this  method  of  securing  green  feed,  we  have 
large  tule  ranges  which  furnish  green  feed  during  the  sum- 
mer, when  the  hills  and  plains  are  parched  and  bare. 
These  fields  are  now  occupied  by  bands  of  stock  that 
might  readily  be  replaced  by  milch  cows. 

Along  the  Sacramento  Kiver,  Elk  Slough,  and  the  tules 
bordering  the  grain  lands,  are  several  very  fine  dairy  farms, 
possessing  the  advantages  of  continual  green  feed,  though 
this  is  in  a  measure  counteracted,  in  the  minds  of  many, 
by  the  danger  to  stock  from  floods;  hence,  they  prefer  the 
foot-hill  farms  or  ranges. 

Green's  Dairy, 

Among  these  farms  are  some  worthy  of  special  mention, 
as  being  noted  for  the  excellence  of  their  products,  the 
number  of  the  cows  milked,  and  the  value  of  the  locations. 
The  farm  of  J.  B.  Green,  on  the  Sacramento  River,  in  Mer- 
ritt's  Township,  is  peculiarly  adapted  to  dairying,  and  its 
natural  advantages  have  been  much  improved  by  system- 
atic cultivation.  The  grazing  lands  are  situated  on  both 
sides  of  the  Sacramento  River — a  large  portion  of  the  farm 
lying  in  Sacramento  County.  That  portion  which  lies  in 
Yolo  County  is  situated  on  the  island  formed  by  Elk  Slough 
and  the  river,  and  extends  from  the  river  to  the  slough,  af- 
fording abundance  of  water,  independent  of  the  tule  swamps. 


76  THE  WESTEKN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

A  large  portion  of  the  rancli  is  covered  with  tule  swamp, 
which  affords  excellent  range  during  the  summer  months. 
The  high  lands  along  the  river  bank  are  protected  by  a 
leyee,  and  a  large  portion  of  them  are  sown  to  alfalfa, 
which  produces  luxuriantly.  Here  can  be  seen  the  advan- 
tages of  green  feed  and  root  feeding,  as  applied  to  milch 
cows.  Mr.  Green  depends  on  the  winter  trade  principally, 
hence  his  cows  bring  their  calves  in  the  fall.  Through  the 
»  fall  and  winter,  when  butter  commands  a  high  price,  espe- 
cially if  it  is  yellow,  fresh  and  sweet,  he  has  a  large  share 
of  the  market  to  himself,  as  but  few  of  the  dairymen  are 
similarly  situated. 

The  garden  land  on  his  place  produces  squash  and  root 
feed  for  his  cows,  while  the  alfalfa  fields  are. ever  green  and 
inviting.  If,  as  is  sometimes  the  case,  high  water  drives 
his  cows  from  the  fields  for  a  few  days  or  weeks,  the  pro- 
duce of  the  garden  supplies  the  animals  with  nutritious  food 
suitable  for  their  situation.  By  this  means  his  stock  is 
healthy,  and  capable  of  producing  an  excellent  qtiaiity  of 
butter,  which  at  all  times  commands  an  extra  price,  be  the 
market  ever  so  dull;  for  good  table  butter  is  not  the  rule  in 
this  State,  whatever  it  may  be  elsewhere.  Eighty  cows  are 
milked  on  this  farm. 

Cave's  Dairy. 

Mr.  Cave,  on  Merritt's  Island,  has  a  fine  dairy  farm,  also 
well  stocked  with  choice  cows.  He  has  the  advantage  of 
green  feed  also,  having  fields  of  alfalfa  as  well  as  the  tule 
lands.  The  range  is  smaller  than  that  of  which  we  have 
spoken,  but  it  is  not  inferior  in  qualit3\  Butter  is  the 
principal  product,  little  or  no  cheese  being  made  along  the 
river. 

Other  Dairies  in  Merritt's. 

On  the  ranch  of  Mr.  Chiles,  a  large  dairy  is  kept,  averag- 
ing about  forty  cows.  On  this  ranch  alfalfa  is  grown  on 
the  high  lands.  Following  up  the  river,  we  find  Messrs. 
Trumpler,  Babel,  Payne    and   several  others,  engaged  in 


YOLO   COUNTY.  77 

dairying,  to  a  greater  or  less  extent.  On  Elk  Slougli, Messrs. 
Feeon,  Goan,  Hinclsdill  and  others,  are  working  into  the 
same  business,  in  connection  with  stock. 

Choice  Cows. 

Mr.  Curtis,  eighteen  miles  below  Washington,  has  a 
choice  lot  of  cows,  which  comprise  selections  from  the  best 
stock  in  the  county.  The  cows  of  Mr.  Babel  are  principal- 
ly Durham  and  rank  second  to  none,  and  those  who  desire 
to  improve  their  stock  should  visit  his  ranch  and  examine 
them. 

Conrad's  Farm. 

From  this  locality  to  Washington  we  find  several  small 
lots  of  cows,  but  none  of  any  particular  note,  until  we  reach 
the  ranch  of  Mr.  Conrad,  one  mile  below  AYashington. 
Here  is  one  of  the  best  dairy  farms  on  the  river  and  we  find 
it  occupied  by  a  small  but  choice  lot  of  cows.  With  a  suf- 
ficient stock,  this  farm  could  be  one  of  the  first  dairy  farms 
in  the  county. 

Eryte's  Dairy. 

About  one  mile  above  Washington  is  the  dairy  farm  of 
Mr.  Bryte.  One  hundred  cows  are  milked  on  this  place, 
the  milk  being  sold  in  Sacramento  City.  This  is  a  very 
valuable  farm,  with  a  large  extent  of  good  pasturage.  The 
tules  and  river  range  supply  green  feed  daring  the  greater 
part  of  the  season.  Further  up  tlie  river  is  the  dairy  of 
Mr.  Comstock,  where  a  small  and  choice  lot  of  cows  are 
kept  and  butter  manufactured.  The  cattle  range  of  this 
farm  partakes  of  the  general  characteristics  meutioued — tule 
and  alfaii'a.  We  might  enumerate  several  small  lots  along 
the  river,  but  enough  has  been  rcentioned  to  show  the  gen- 
eral character  of  the  dairy  farms  along  the  river  and  the 
quality  of  the  stock. 

Tule  House  Dairy. 
Leaving  the  river,  we  will  glance  at  the  dairy  of  S.  Enos, 
at  the  old  Tule  House.     From  eighty  to  one  hundred  cows 


f^  THE  WESTERN  SHOEE  GAZETTEER. 

are  milked  at  this  place.  Tlie  proprietor  lias  turned  liis 
attention  to  manufacturing  cheese  and  has  achieved  an  en- 
viable reputation  in  that  line.  The  cheese  room  and  dairy 
are  well  worth  visiting  by  those  who  wish  to  be  initiated  in 
the  mysteries  of  cheese  making.  It  is  without  doubt  one 
of  the  finest  cheese  dairies  in  the  State  and  conducted  in 
the  most  systematic  manner.  The  evidences  of  this  fact 
consist  in  the  reputation  established  and  the  prices  obtain- 
ed for  the  products  of  the  dairy.  On  this  ranch  the  feed 
of  the  cows  during  the  summer  is  the  tule  range — nothing 
but  wild  feed.  In  the  winter  the  cows  are  removed  to  a 
hill  ranch  in  Buckeye  Township,  where  their  feed  is  the 
wild  hill  grasses  and  wild  oats.  There  is  no  alfalfa  or  tame 
feed  of  any  kind,  yet  as  good  an  article  of  cheese  is  made 
as  can  be  purchased  in  the  State  or  elsewhere. 

S-wingle's  Dairy. 

About  five  miles  from  the  Tule  House  Eanch  is  the  dairy 
farm  of  G.  W.  Swingle,  at  the  sink  of  Putah  Creek,  where 
one  hundred  cows  are  kept  and  butter  manufactured.  This 
ranch  also  possesses  the  advantage  of  green  feed,  having  a 
large  tule  range. 

Carey's  Dairy. 

Some  three  miles  beyond  Swingle's  is  the  dairy  of  Mr. 
Carey,  where  upwards  of  a  hundred  cows  are  kept  and  but- 
ter manufactured.  This  ranch  also  possesses  an  extensive 
tule  range,  affording  ample  green  feed  for  the  stock.  These 
are  among  the  largest  dairies  located  along  the  river  and 
on  the  swamp  lands,  with  the  exception  of  the 

G-rand  Island  Dairies. 

On  this  island  there  are  three  dairies,  owned  as  follows  : 
J.  P.  Bullock,  sixty-six  cows ;  Gwinn  &  Long,  one  hun- 
dred ;  Hanna,  thirty.  These  dairies  are  all  engaged  in 
butter-making  and  meeting  with  deserved  success.  The 
stock  is  also  fed  on  the  tule  marshes. 


YOLO  COUNTY.  *t^ 

Scott's  Dairy. 

From  tliese  lands  we  will  glance  at  some  of  tlie  hill  dairy 
farms  and  then  leave  the  subject.  In  Buckeye  Township, 
we  find  several  small  lots  of  cows,  kept  for  dairying  pur- 
poses. C  Scott,  near  Cottonwood,  has  a  choice  lot  of 
twenty  cows,  from  which  he  manufactures  both  butter  and 
cheese,  according  to  the  season.  His  range  is  the  wild 
feed  and  wild  oats  of  the  surrounding  hills,  yet  he  finds  no 
difficulty  in  preparing  an  excellent  article  of  butter,  thus 
demonstrating  that,  with  proper  care,  the  quality  of  butter 
or  cheese  is  not  impaired  by  the  wild  grasses  indigenous 
o  California. 

It  may  be  well  to  consider  whether  the  introduction  of 
foreign  grasses  suitable  for  dairy  stock  is  essential  to  suc- 
cessful butter-making ;  but,  whether  it  be  so  or  otherwise, 
it  is  evident  that  econony  demands  a  change  for  the  better, 
if  such  be  possible.  Under  another  heading,  this  subject 
will  be  considered  more  in  detail. 

The  number  of  dairy  or  milch  cows  in  the  county  is 
three  thousand  three  hundred  and  thirty,  valued  at  one 
hundred  and  sixty-six  thousand  five  hundred  dollars.  The 
value  of  the  dairy  product  is  one  hundred  thousand  dol- 
lars. 

The  Grazing 

Interest  of  the  county  next  claims  our  attention.  As  the 
matter  now  stands,  this  interest  is  mainly  confined  to  the 
tule  marshes,  the  foot-hills  and  mountains.  The  tules 
present  the  best  summer  range,  the  hills  are  better  adapt- 
ed to  winter  and  spring  grazing.  But  little  space  on  the 
grain  lands  is  occupied  by  stock,  owing  to  several  causes, 
chief  of  which  is  the  fence  law,  which  provides  that  stock- 
men shall  guard  their  stock.  In  accordance  with  this  law, 
it  becomes  necessary  for  stock-men  to  either  guard  their 
stock  or  fence  their  ranges.  The  former  method  being 
very  uncertain,  the  latter  very  expensive,  the  plains  were 
gradually  given  up  to  grain-culture  and  the  stock  sought 
the  tules  and  mountains. 


80  THE  WESTEBN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

The  grazing  lands  of  the  county  are  all  claimed  or  occu- 
pied. There  is  a  vast  range  of  unsuryeyed  lands  in  the 
mountains,  but,  owing  to  the  fact  that  enterprising  men 
have  entered  the  land  lying  along  and  commanding  the  wa- 
ter courses  and  springs,  it  is  of  no  value  or  use  to  any  one 
but  those  owners. 

The  main  reliance  for  feed  in  the  hills  is  wild  oats,  which 
grow  luxuriantly  in  the  first  ranges.  In  tiie  smail  valleys 
and  along  the  water  courses,  a  species  of  clover  grows  in 
great  abundance.  The  hiilaides  produce  very  early  feed, 
which  becomes  ripe  and  dry  about  the  first  of  June,  in 
which  state  it  retains  its  nourishment,  possessing  the  prop- 
erties of  well-cured  hay.  In  favorable  locations  in  the 
mountains  the  stock  do  well  throughout  the  year.  Sach 
has  been  the  case  heretofore,  with  the  exception  of  the  re- 
markable droughts  of  '63-4. 

On  the  plains,  or  portions  of  them,  the  wild  oats  would 
thrive  remarkably,  were  it  not  for  the  continual  plowing  to 
wdiich  they  are  subjected.  Clover,  salt-grass  and  bunch- 
grass,  with  a  few  other  varieties,  form  the  body  of  indige- 
nous grasses  of  the  State,  and  thus  the  plains  of  Yolo  County 
present  no  exception  to  the  rule.  The  yield  of  natural  grass 
per  acre  averages  about  one-fourth  the  amount  of  feed  real- 
ized from  the  average  Eastern  grazing  farms.  We  do  not 
include  the  tule  marches,  which  present  a  better  showing  in 
quantity,  if  not  in  quality.  The  grazing  lands  of  tiie  county, 
if  properly  reclaimed  and  seeded,  would  provide  sustenance 
for  a  body  of  stock  far  larger  than  they  now  support.  In- 
cluding as  they  do  a  large  part  of  tiie  county  (three  hun- 
dred and  sixty  thousand  acres),  it  is  evident  to  all  that  they 
could  and  should  be  made  to  provide  a  large  share  of  .the 
county's  wealth.  Were  they  in  the  proper  condition  for 
pasturage,  the  stock  interest  would  soon  oitt  weigh  ail  others, 
and  the  county  would  be  rich  in  the  herds  alone.  As  it 
now  is,  the  grazing  is  barely  sufficient  to  maintain  stock  for 
home  use.  In  this  connection  we  will  consider  the  value  of 
a  clover,  still  but  little  known  or  caltivated. 


YOLO  COUNTY.  81 


Alfalfa. 

It  has  been  but  a  few  years  since  this  clover  came  under 
consideration  in  this  State,  yet  it  is  already  creating  con- 
siderable attention  among  stock-growers  and  dairy-men.  It 
forms  the  only  green  feed  we  have  during  the  dry  season, 
apart  from  the  tiile  marshes.  Farmers  are  rapidly  adox3t- 
ing  it  in  various  j)arts  of  the  county,  and  already  look  upon 
it  as  being  indispensable  to  the  future  prosperity  of  stock- 
growers.  It  is  claimed  for  this  clover  that  it  is  perennial, 
furnishing  an  equal  amount  of  green  feed  in  wet  and  dry 
seasons.  It  will  yield  as  much  or  more  feed  on  one  acre  of 
ground  as  is  produced  from  six  acres  of  the  natural  grasses. 
It  will  yield  in  hay  an  amount  equal  to  six  acres  of  natural 
grass,  and  many  claim  to  cut  as  much  hay  from  one  acre  of 
alfalfa  as  can  be  cut  from  ten  acres  in  a  wild  state.  Ten 
tons  to  the  acre  of  alfalfa,  when  well  rooted,  is  not  uncom- 
mon, while  an  acre  of  natural  hay  rarely  gives  over  one  ton. 

We  have  visited  several  beautiful  fields  of  alfalfa  lately, 
among  which  was  the  field  of  N.  Wyckoif,  Esq.,  near  Wood- 
land, who  has  devoted  much  time  to  experimenting  with 
this  clover,  and  now  has  about  sixty  acres,  as  green  and 
thrifty  now  (August  20th)  as  in  the  early  spring  when  the 
ground  was  saturated  wHh  water.  A  portion  of  this — about 
fifteen  acres — is  kept  .or  seed;  the  remaining  portion  is 
used  for  pasturage. 

We  will  chronicle  his  experience,  as  that  is  of  far  more 
interest  and  value  to  our  readers  than  any  crude  observa- 
tions of  our  own.  First,  regarding  the  necessary  qualifi- 
cations of  the  soil :  It  should  be  deep,  loose  and  strong, 
allowing  the  root  to  strike  deep  enough  to  reach  perpetual 
moisture,  to  assure  a  good  stand  or  growth.  This  requisite 
obtained,  the  ground  should  be  carefully  tilled,  summer 
fallowed,  if  necessary  to  remove  all  foul  weeds.  The  seed 
should  be  sown  in  the  spring,  and  with  no  other  crop,  from 
fifteen  to  twenty  pounds  being  sown  to  the  acre.  Great 
care  should  be  taken  in  securing  seed  free  from  foul  weeds, 
and  otherwise  of  good  quality.  When  the  stand  has  reached 
6 


82  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

a  height  of  eight  or  ten  inches,  feeding  can  commence  with- 
out injury  to  the  plant,  if  not  fed  so  close  that  the  roots  are 
injured.  It  seems  to  grow  more  rapidly  in  the  very  warmest 
"weather,  and  to  be  insensible  to  the  ills  which  affect  other 
grasses  in  seasons  of  drought.  During  the  month  of  June 
last,  when  the  thermometer  ranged  from  one  hundred  de- 
grees upward,  the  clover  in  the  fields  spoken  of  gi'ew  with 
marvelous  rapidity.  It  seemed  to  delight  in  the  excessive 
heat  and  take  a  new  growth,  covering  the  ground  with  a 
carpet  of  green  that  contrasted  most  favorably  with  the  dry, 
parched  fields  adjoining.  The  amount  of  hay  on  the  ground 
uncut  was  estimated  by  Mr.  AVyckoff  at  five  tons  per  acre. 
When  cut  for  hay,  four  crops  are  easily  gathered  in  one  sea- 
son, and  the  fields  are  then  pastured  through  the  fall  and 
winter.  Yv^hen  grown  for  the  seed,  the  fields  are  fed  until 
the  middle  of  April,  and  then  two  crops  of  seed  are  gath- 
ered, and  the  stock  again  turned  on.  From  eight  acres  of 
clover  in  1869,  Mr.  Wyckoff  secured  about  five  tons  of  seed, 
which  sold  readily  for  twenty-fi\e  cents  per  pound.  From 
the  same  ground  he  will  harvest  six  tons  of  seed  this  sea- 
son. He  has  been  at  great  pains  to  secure  perfectly  clean 
seed,  and  has  met  with  entire  success.  His  arrangements 
for  threshing  and  cleaning  are  brought  to  perfection,  and 
the  increased  demand  for  the  seed  evinces  the  regard  in 
which  it  is  held,  as  compared  wi^i  the  imported  article. 
This  season  the  price  has  been  fixed  at  twenty  cents  per 
pound,  and  a  large  supply  will  be  kept  there  for  home  use. 

In  connection  with  this,  we  gathered  many  interesting 
facts  regarding  the  culture  of  this  plant,  which  we  cannot 
refrain  from  giving  a  place  in  these  pages.  The  clover  that 
he  cuts  for  seed  paid  him  three  hundred  dollars  -per  acre, 
before  he  made  a  specialty  of  it.  He  is  now  (August  15tli) 
harvesting  his  first  crop,  which  will  yield  three  tons  of  seed. 
Other  lands  which  were  pastured  yielded  him  seventy-five 
dollars  per  acre  for  the  season.  He  estimates  that  one  acre 
of  this  land  in  alfalfa  will  sustain  as  much  stock  as  ten 
acres,  when  in  its  natural  state,  or  with  any  other  species 
of  feed  that  can  be  successfull}^  grown  in  this  climate. 

He  first  experimented  with  it  in  '55-6,  but  owing  to  the 


YOLO  COUNTY.  83 

seed  beiug  foul  lie  abandouecl  those  fields  and  replowed 
tliem.  Noticing  the  fondness  of  the  stock  for  the  few 
bunches  that  would  not  be  killed,  he  concluded  to  try  it 
again,  being  convinced  that  it  was  just  the  thing  for  dry 
seasons  and  stock .  Some  of  the  planting  of  '55  still  re- 
mains, despite  the  continual  wheat  culture,  annually  reaching 
a  growth  of  five  feet  and  upward  in  height,  showing  that 
it  is  worthy  of  its  German  name — "Everlasting  Clover." 
It  shows  moreover  that  when  it  once  has  taken  root,  it  is 
extremely  hard  to  eradicate,  but  continiies  to  increase  from 
year  to  year.  Around  Woodland  are  many  fields  of  from 
one  to  fifty  acres  in  extent,  the  owners  of  which  speak  in 
the  highest  terms  of  its  value.  About  twelve  hundred  acres 
were  seeded  during  the  last  spring,  and  the  number  will  be 
largely  increased  this  coming  seeding  season. 

The  successive  cropping  of  wheat,  as  practiced  by  the 
farmers,  has  seriously  impoverished  their  lands  in  many 
instances,  and  will  eventually  tell  on  the  strongest  soils. 
Aware  of  this,  many  are  preparing  for  a  change,  and  will 
proceed  to  plant  alfalfa  in  lieu  of  grain,  not  alone  for  the 
profit,  but  to  enrich  their  lands. 

This  clover,  called  by  many  Chile  Clover,  has  long  been 
grown  with  marked  success  in  Chile.  We  have  seen  vast 
fields  of  it  there,  on  soil  similar — perhaps  inferior — to  thou- 
sands of  acres  in  this  county.  With  a  climate  similar  to 
that,  we  have  the  same  or  gi-eater  advantages  otherwise 
necessary  to  insure  success.  In  that  state  it  has  almost 
entirely  superseded  all  native  grasses.  It  is  supposed  by 
many  that  it  is  a  native  of  Chile,  but  this  is  an  error.  It  is 
a  native  of  Southern  Europe,  where  it  is  known  under  the 
name  of  Lucerne,  from  a  canton  in  Switzerland,  where  we 
first  learn  of  it. 

In  a  paper  read  before  the  American  Institute  Farmers' 
Club,  by  Mr.  Curtis,  we  find  the  following  description  of 
the  clover,  in  which  the  reader  who  is  at  all  acquainted 
with  alfalfa  will  recognize  it  at  once.  Mr.  Curtis,  in  expa- 
tiating on  the  value  of  this  plant  for  soiling,  says : 

' '  It  will  grow  in  the  same  climate  and  soil  with  red 
clover,  but  needs   stronger  land,  and,  being  a   native  of 


84  THE  WESTEKN  SHOKE  GAZETTEEB. 

Soutliern  Europe,  requires,  to  perfect  itself,  more  sunsliine 
and  warmth;  but  tliis  peculiarity  can  be  remedied,  to  a 
considerable  extent,  by  a  ricli  soil,  a  warm  exposure  and 
stimulating  manures.  When  furnished  with  these  advan- 
tages its  rapid  growth  and  the  amount  of  Lucerne  which 
can  be  taken  off  from  a  small  piece  of  ground  is  most  as- 
tonishing— from  four  to  six  crops  being  cut  in  one  season 
from  the  same  land.  For  ilesh-forming  and  nutritive  ele- 
ments it  is  superior  to  red  clover,  containing  50.7  parts  to 
41.2  in  clover.  Like  clover,  it  covers  the  ground  with  a 
dense  shade,  thus  enriching  the  soil,  while  the  roots  strike 
down  into  the  subsoil  to  the  depth  of  several  feet,  defying 
drought  and  leaving  the  land  in  admirable  condition  for 
subsequent  cultivation.  Lucerne  resembles  clover  in  ap- 
pearance, with  a  smaller  leaf,  and  if  left  to  ripen  has  a 
more  woody  stem.  I  would  not  recommend  it  to  take  the 
place  of  clover  for  general  purposes;  but  I  do  most  em- 
phatically indorse  it  for  a  soiling  plant,  to  meet  the  great 
want  of  the  dairy-man  and  stock-breeder.  For  horses  it 
has  special  merits — not  being  soft  and  washy,  they  are  not 
liable  to  scour  on  it.  It  is  perennial;  once  get  it  rooted, 
and  with  a  clean  soil  it  will  thrive  for  years,  yielding  its 
successive  burdens  of  richness.  The  seed  is  larger  than 
clover  seed,  and  when  ripe  and  fresh,  glossy  and  yellow, 
as  the  sample  shows.  They  can  be  obtained  of  any  first- 
class  dealer  at  fifty  cents  per  pound.  The  crop  may  be 
sowed  with  grain — rye  being  the  best — but  it  is  preferable 
to  sow  it  alone,  from  eight  to  ten  pounds  per  acre." 

Mr.  Curtis  was  writing  for  another  people  and  gave  the 
experience  of  another  climate ;  therefore,  a  portion  of  his 
remarks  cannot  apply  to  the  cultivation  of  Lucerne  or 
alfalfa  here.  We  quoted  them,  however,  to  show  the  esti- 
mation in  which  the  plant  is  held  in  the  East,  where  the 
finest  qualities  of  clovers  and  grasses  arrive  at  perfection ; 
also  to  show  that  alfalfa  and  Lucerne  are  one  and  the  same, 
having  its  origin  elsewhere  than  on  the  American  Conti- 
nent. Germans  readily  recognize  it  as  their  "Everlasting 
Clover,"  and  the  Swiss  welcome  it  as  the  Lucerne  of  their 


YOLO  COUNTY.  85 

native  valleys,  wliere  it  is  lield  in  tlie  liigliest  estimation 
both  as  a  fertilizer  and  soiling  plant. 

Thousands  of  acres  in  this  county  are  peculiarlj^  adapted 
to  its  growth,  and  vast  wealth  could  be  added  to  the  county 
by  turning  these  scantily-clad  fields  into  alfalfa  pastures. 
It  must  prove  itself  of  immense  value,  as  long  as  fresh- 
green  feed  is  considered  essential  to  successful  dairying 
and  stock-raising.  Ere  long  many  of  the  worn  wheat-fields 
must  be  abandoned,  unless  sooner  planted  to  that  which 
will  enrich,  not  impoverish  them ;  and  this  plant  seems  to 
be  the  article  required. 

Creeks  and  Sloughs. 

The  water-courses  of  the  county,  aside  from  the  river, 
are  divided  into  creeks,  sloughs  and  arroyos.  The  prin- 
cipal creeks  are:  Cache  Creek,  Putah  Creek,  Cottonwood 
Creek,  Dry  Creek  and  Buckeye  Creek. 

The  principal  sloughs  are  Sutter,  Elk,  Babel,  Willow  and 
Sycamore  sloughs. 

There  are  several  deep  arroyos,  among  which  are :  Salt 
Arroyo,  Pine  Arroyo  (or  Canon),  and  several  others  having 
local  names,  and  others  that  are  nameless. 

The  Arroyos 
« 
Are  deep  mountain  ravines — torrents  in  winter  and  dry  in 

summer,  with  the  exception  of  the  few  springs  and  pools 

found  at  intervals  along  their  beds. 

Salt  Arroyo  rises  in  the  first  range  of  high  hills,  or 
mountains,  on  Scott's  Eanch,  in  Buckeye  Township,  and 
empties  its  winter's  floods  into  Buckeye  Creek. 

Pine  Canon  rises  in  the  same  range  and  on  the  same 
ranch,  emptying  its  waters  into  Salt  Arroyo.  There  are 
several  arroyos  heading  in  to  the  same  range  of  hills, 
which,  coursing  northward,  reach  Cache  Creek,  well  up  in 
Capay  Valley.  The  springs  found  in  their  beds  serve  as 
watering  places  for  stoc"k,  there  being  but  few  found  else- 
where in  this  range  of  hills.

*  Deep  Arroyo. 

This  arroyo,  or  slough,  heads  in  the  southeast  corner  of 
Buckeye  Township,  and  follows  a  northeast  course  for 
about  eight  miles.  It  probably  connected  with  Willow 
Slough  at  one  time,  and  is  doubtless  the  old  bed  of  Buck- 
eye Creek.  It  is  known  as  "  Dry  Slough, "  in  Plainfield, 
where  it  approaches  Willow  Slough. 

About  one  mile  from  Putah  Creek,  and  extending  paral- 
lel with  it  for  about  three  miles,  is  another  arroyo,  or 
slough,  possessing  many  of  the  remarkable  features  of 
Willow  Slough,  such  as  large  ponds  of  fresh,  pure  and  cold 
water,  fed,  doubtless,  from  the  same  source. 

"Willow  Slough. 

This  remarkable  stream  differs  from  all  others  within  the 
county,  inasmuch  as  its  waters  are  supplied  by  springs 
clear  and  cold  as  those  flowing  from  the  mountain  gorges. 
It  first  makes  its  appearance  on  the  farm  of  Abram  Barnes, 
about  nine  miles  southwest  from  Woodland,  rising  from  a 
large  spring,  or  pond,  whose  waters  cover  an  area  of  per- 
haps one-fourth  of  an  acre.  From  this  spring,  or  pond,  a 
succession  of  pond-holes  occur  for  about  six  miles,  united 
with  each  other  only  during  the  rainy  season.  The  general 
course  of  the  stream  is  southwest  until  it  reaches  Grayson's 
Eanch,  m  here  its  course  is  about  due  east  for  two  miles 
further. 

At  Grayson's,  the  springs,  or  pond-holes,  become  more 
numerous,  and  are  united  at  all  seasons — in  summer,  by  a 
shallow  rivulet,  in  places  ten  to  fifteen  feet  wide.  From 
Grayson's  east  two  miles  we  come  to  the  head  of  the  slough 
proper,  near  Merritt's  Bridge,  where  it  deflects  to  the 
north,  and,  following  a  northeasterly  course,  discharges  its 
waters  in  the  tule  marshes,  about  fifteen  miles  from  the 
first  large  spring  mentioned,  including  the  sinuosities  of  its 
course. 

At  Merritt's  Bridge,  or  near  there,  the  first  large  body 
of  water  begins,  and  extends  in  one  unbroken  sheet — aver- 


YOLO   COUNTY.  87 

aging  about  fifty  yards  in  width — for  a  distance  of  two  and 
one-lialf  miles.  Its  greatest  depth,  so  far  as  has  been 
ascertained,  is  seventy -five  feet,  and  in  no  place  is  it  less 
than  from  six  to  ten  feet.  As  a  general  rule,  the  banks  are 
abrupt  and  the  bed  composed  of  gravel. 

Two  and  one-half  miles  from  the  bridge  the  slough  passes 
through  Dr.  Ruddock's  Ranch,  where  the  main  body  of 
water  is  divided  by  a  riffle  of  about  one  hundred  and 
eighty  or  two  hundred  rods  in  length.  In  this  distance  the 
water  falls  several  feet,  there  being  a  fall  of  nearly  or  quite 
eight  feet  on  the  Doctor's  place. 

At  the  foot  of  the  riffle  the  slough  again  assumes  the' 
proportions  of  a  river,  and  continues  so  for  about  two  and 
one-half  miles  further,  or  until  it  reaches  Ryon's  Crossing, 
nearly  east  from  Woodland.  This  second  division  has  the 
same  general  appearance  attributed  to  the  division  already 
described,  though  it  lacks  some  of  the  charms  which  char- 
acterize the  other. 

From  Ryon's  Rancli  toward  the  tules,  its  fair  proportions 
are  somewhat  curtailed,  the  character  of  its  bed  and  banks 
materially  changed,  owing  to  the  different  kinds  of  soil 
through  which  it  passes;  and  thence  through  the  marshes 
the  slough  presents  but  little  of  interest  or  beauty.  Pass- 
ing by  the  lower  division,  we  will  briefly  glance  at  the  two 
portions  separated  by  the  riffle.  These  two  large  bodies 
of  water  are  clear,  cold,  and  well  supplied  with  many  varie- 
ties of  fish.  In  bathing  in  the  stream,  one  finds  the  pres- 
ence of  large  and  strong  currents  of  chilly  water — so  cold, 
in  fact,  that  during  the  warmest  part  of  the  season  the  tem- 
perature of  the  whole  body  is  too  cold  for  pleasure  a  few 
feet  beneath  the  surface;  and  if  a  vessel  be  sunk  to  any 
considerable  depth,  the  water  so  obtained  will  be  found 
cold  as  the  mountain  springs. 

The  volume  of  water  passing  over  the  riffle  at  Dr.  Rud- 
dock's place  will  probably  reach  one  hundred  thousand 
gallons  in  twenty-four  hours  at  the  lowest  stage  of  water. 
From  this,  one  can  form  some  idea  of  the  number  and  size 
of  the  springs  which  supply  this  remarkable  stream.  That 
the  sources  of   supply  have  not  their  origin   in  the  land 


88  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

immediately  surrounding  or  bordering  on  the  slough,  is 
evident  from  tlie  vast  difference  observable  between  the 
taste  and  properties  of  the  water  obtained  by  boring,  or 
that  which  is  taken  from  the  slough.  The  water  obtained 
from  wells — and  especially  those  at  some  distance  from  the 
slough — is  hard,  heavily  charged  with  minerals,  and  in 
some  instances  brackish  and  saline,  while  the  waters  of  the 
slough  are  the  reverse.  It  is  evident  that  the  numerous 
springs  which  are  to  be  found  at  intervals  along  both 
banks  of  the  slough  take  their  rise  far  away — their  hidden 
channels  being  above  the  present  water-line  of  the  sur- 
rounding plains. 

These  curious  springs  have  been  the  cause  of  many 
conjectures,  arguments  and  theories  regarding  their  real 
source,  as  by  that  is  determined  the  source  of  Willow 
Slough.  By  some  tliey  are  supposed  to  belong  to  the  gen- 
eral body  of  water  underlying  the  plains  around  Woodland, 
at  an  average  depth  of  about  fifteen  feet;  but  this  theory  is 
untenable,  as  has  been  shown  by  the  vast  difference  in  the 
qualities  of  the  two  divisions  of  water.  Another  and  more 
reasonable  theory  is,  that  Willow  Slough  is  the  continua- 
tion of  Cottonwood  Creek,  which,  in  summer,  sinks  at  the 
foot  of  the  hills,  some  eighteen  miles  west  from  the  first 
springs,  or  pond-holes.  And  yet  again  another  theory  gives 
to  Cache  Creek  the  credit  of  furnishing  Willow  Slough 
with  its  limpid  waters.  That  Cache  Creek  has  at  various 
times  had  other  than  its  present  channel  is  evident.  Old 
beds  are  plainly  discernible  in  several  places,  and  other 
channels  have  been  found  beneath  the  surface,  when  sink- 
ing wells,  that  gave  no  evidence  of  their  presence  by  the 
formation  of  the  upper  soil.  From  the  first  pond,  on 
Barnes'  Ranch,  to  the  old  El  Dorado  Eancli,  on  Cache 
Creek,  the  evidences  of  the  old  creek  bed  are  numerous 
and  plain.  The  distance — some  eight  or  nine  miles — is 
marked  at  intervals  with  beds  of  gravel  and  deposits  of 
sand  stratas,  and  at  points  the  old  banks  have  not  been 
entirely  obliterated.  The  level  character  of  the  country, 
and  the  fact  that  the  volume  of  water  materially  decreases 
from  the  time  that  it  leaves  the  canon  and  debouches  on 


YOLO  COUNTY.  89 

tlie  plains,  lends  additional  strength  to  the  theory.  In  the 
summer  the  waters  of  Cache  Creek  disappear  at  intervals, 
or  sink  in  the  sand;  and  it  is  but  reasonable  to  suppose 
that  they  follow  the  old  channels  far  beneath  the  present 
surface.  The  hidden  waters  of  Cottonwood  Creek  doubt- 
less mingle  with  those  of  the  larger  stream,  whose  under- 
ground currents  are  not  affected  by  the  change  of  seasons. 

During  high  water,  when  the  heavy  rains  have  swollen 
Cottonwood  Creek  to  the  dimensions  of  a  powerful  stream, 
and  Cache  Creek  to  a  formidable  river,  their  waters  are 
united  in  the  overflow,  and  Cache  Creek  discharges  a  large 
volume  of  water  through  the  Cottonwood  Plains,  which 
finds  an  outlet  to  the  tules  through  Willow  Slough.  At 
such  times  the  slough  is  a  mighty  river,  bearing  on  its  tur- 
bulent bosom  driftwood  from  the  mountains,  as  well  as 
fences  which  have  been  swept  from  the  surrounding  plains. 
When  the  floods  have  subsided,  and  Cache  Creek  has  set- 
tled down  within  its  regular  channel,  and  Cottonwood 
Creek  does  not  venture  further  than  the  shadows  of  the 
hills,  Willow  Slough  resumes  its  placid  expression,  and  re- 
mains with  unchanged  aspect  until  the  floods  again  visit  it. 

During  one  of  these  periodical  floods,  in  March,  1847, 
Joe  Buzzy  got  into  his  canoe  at  the  north  door  of  Sutter's 
Fort  and  sailed  through  the  tules  and  up  Willow  Slough 
to  Gordon's  Eanch,  on  the  north  side  of  Cache  Creek, 
meeting  no  greater  obstructions  than  the  strength  of  the 
current.  Along  the  slough,  or  the  two  large  bodies  of 
water  composing  the  main  portion,  the  banks  are  well 
wooded,  the  trees  and  undergrowth  thickly  interlaced  with 
wild  grape  and  other  vines,  forming  a  pleasant,  shady  re- 
treat, where  one  can  enjoy  the  sport  of  angling  to  his 
heart's  content. 

The  fish,  with  which  the  stream  is  well  furnished,  con- 
sists of  pike,  chub,  dace,  sunfish  and  a  species  of  perch, 
very  palatable  and  easy  of  capture.  No  trout  is  found  in 
the  stream,  though  it  is  evident  that  they  could  be  culti- 
vated to  great  advantage,  especially  the  Lake  Tahoe  varie- 
ty. Fish  have  been  taken  from  the  slough  weighing  five 
pounds,  though  the  average  are  much  smaller.     No  effort, 


90  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

as  we  have  learned,  lias  been  made  to  demonstrate  wlietlier 
the  slough  contains  large  fish,  though  there  is  every  indi- 
cation that  such  is  the  case.  The  depth  of  the  water, 
rarely  disturbed  by  natural  or  artificial  agencies,  is  favor- 
able in  the  extreme  to  the  various  kinds  of  California  fish 
which  are  invariably  found  on  the  bottom  of  deep  streams, 
their  habits  never  bringing  them  within  range  of  shallow 
fishing. 

On  the  farm  of  Dr.  Kuddock,  which  embraces  the  rip- 
ple and  the  lower  end  of  the  first  large  body  of  water, 
are  some  very  singular  springs  or  wells,  situated  at  some 
distance  from  the  main  slough  and  separated  therefrom  by 
high,  firm  grain  land.  These  wells  are  circular  in  form, 
about  sixty  feet  in  diameter  and  three  in  number.  Tlieij' 
depth  has  never  been  ascertained,  but  it  is  known  thafe 
they  reach  at  least  to  the  level  of  the  bottom  of  the  slough, 
by  which  they  are  doubtless  fed  with  water.  These  wells 
are  supplied  with  fish,  some  of  them  being  very  large,  of 
the  same  varieties  as  those  foand  in  the  main  stream.  The 
general  appearance  of  these  wells  is  similar  to  the  far- 
famed  Humboldt  wells,  while  the  water  is  much  superior 
to  the  taste  and  for  all  uses.  To  those  who  imagine  the 
plains  present  no  objects  of  curiosity  or  interest  worth  ex- 
amining we  would  recommend  a  visit  to  Willow  Slough 
and  the  natural  wells  on  Dr.  Euddock's  farm,  premising 
that,  having  done  so,  their  minds  would  be  disabused  of 
their  first  and  erroneous  impression. 

The  sinuosities  of  the  slough  probably  extend  it  to  about 
fifteen  miles  in  length,  that  is,  that  portion  which  is  com- 
prised within  the  limits  spoken  of — the  first  large  spring  and 
its  final  discliarge  into  the  tule  swamp.  For  the  distance 
it  abounds  in  pleasing  features^murmuring  rivulets,  deep 
and  broad  sheets  of  water,  shady  nooks  and  cosy,  vine- 
laced  bowers.  A  sail  on  the  waters  or  a  plunge  in  their 
cool  and  bracing  depths  will  well  repay  one  for  visiting 
this  locality. 

At  certain  seasons  of  the  year  the  wild  duck  can  be 
found  here  in  great  numbers,  as  well  as  different  varieties 
of  the  wild  goose.     At  no  season  of  the  year  is  the  slough 


YOLO  COUNTY.  91 

destitute  of  ducks,  but  tlie  wild  goose  only  remains  tlirougli 
the  rainy  season. 

The  value  and  importance  of  a  body  of  water  like  that  of 
Willow  Slough  can  hardly  be  overestimated,  especially  so 
when  we  consider  the  general  absence  of  pure,  living  sur- 
face Avater  on  the  plains  of  this  and  other  counties  of  the 
State.  There  is  enough  flowing  over  the  ritSe  to  supply 
two  or  three  such  towns  as  Woodland  with  pure,  sweet, 
wholesome  water,  and,  should  that  supply  prove  inade- 
quate to  the  demand,  nature  has  provided  reservoirs  which 
are  capable  of  supplying  half  the  county  with  water  during 
the  dry  season.  Perhaps,  when  Woodland  shall  have  at- 
tained to  the  dignity  of  an  incorporated  city,  and  counts 
her  inhabitants  by  thousands  instead  of  hundreds,  she  will 
look  toward  this  point  as  the  source  from  whence  she  will 
draw  a  supply  of  wholesome  water  with  which  to  provide 
for  her  population's  -comfort. 

Elk  Slough. 

This  slough  is  one  of  the  outlets  of  the  tule  marshes, 
and  is  supplied  entirely  from  their  waters.  During  the 
summer  there  is  no  running  water  in  it,  and  then  it  pre- 
sents a  series  of  long,  deep  ponds,  unconnected  with  each 
other.  The  head  of  the  slough  approaches  the  river  near 
the  brick  school-house,  about  nineteen  miles  below  Wash- 
ington. After  various  meanderings,  and  having  main- 
tained a  southerly  course,  it  reaches  the  river  near  the 
head  of  Sutter  Slough,  about  six  miles  from  its  source. 
Along  both  banks  of  the  slough  is  a  narrow  strip  of  garden 
and  grain  land,  varying  in  width  from  fifty  3'ards  to  one- 
half  a  mile.  Between  the  river  and  the  slough  the  tule 
marshes  are  shallow  and  could  readily  be  reclaimed.  Be- 
yond the  slough  the  marshes  are  deep,  the  water  standing 
in  large  bodies  all  the  season.  This  portion  of  the  tules 
will  probably  remain  in  its  present  state  for  many  years, 
and  it  is  extremely  doubtful  whether  any  eflbrt  will  ever  be 
made  to  reclaim  it. 

The   principal   occupation   of  those  who  reside   on  the 


92  THE  WESTEKN  SHORE  GA2ETTEEE. 

slough,  is  stock-raising  and  dairying.  But  little  grain  is 
grown  and  but  few  gardens  cultivated.  Messrs.  Hindsdill, 
KruU  and  Waterbury  are  engaged  in  dairying  on  a  mod- 
erate scale.  Furtliei'  down  the  slough  we  find  the  King 
brothers,  engaged  extensively  in  stock.  They  also  possess 
some  fine  grain  fields.  Still  further  down  are  several  small 
ranches,  where  excellent  crops  of  barley  were  raised  this 
season. 

At  the  ranch  of  Mr.  Feran,  where  the  arable  belt  is  very 
narrow,  we  find  an  extensive  aviary.  Mr.  Feran  informs  us 
that  bees  thrive  exceedingly  well  when  located  on  any  part' 
of  the  high  lands  bordering  the  slough.  The  dense  under- 
growth bordering  its  banks,  the  multitude  of  wild  flowers 
and  vines  with  which  the  undergrowth  abounds,  and  the 
vast  tule  marshes  filled  with  water  plants,  vines  and  flowers, 
afford  a  luxuriant  harvest  to  the  tiny  laborers.  At  certain 
seasons  of  the  year  the  honey-dew  is  deposited  in  large 
quantities  on  the  belt  of  upland,  affording  another  source 
from  which  they  gather  their  sweet  stores.  There  is  some- 
thing singular  and  at  present  unexplainable  regarding  the 
annual  fall  of  this  remarkable  dew.  We  do  not  know  of 
this  phenomena  existing  elsewhere  than  in  California,  and  we 
have  never  learned  of  any  satisfactory  reason  for  its  annual 
appearance.  Perhaps  some  of  our  savans  will  investigate 
the  matter,  and  advance  some  theory  regarding  its  origin. 
The  honey-dew  is  found  on  the  banks  of  the  main  sloughs 
of  the  ,  river,  also  on  the  Sacramento,  San  Joaquin,  and 
other  rivers  of  the  State,  after  they  have  entered  the  vast 
plains  which  form  the  great  inland  basin  of  California.  The 
same  feature  may .  exist  elsewhere  in  the  State  and  out 
of  it,  for  aught  we  know  to  the  contrary;  but  if  so,  we  have 
seen  no  mention  made  of  the  fact. 

The  wild  blackberry  grows  in  great  profusion  along  both 
banks  of  the  slough,  attaining  the  finest  flavor  of  any  we 
have  seen  in  the  State.  Thousands  of  gallons  are  annually 
gathered  here  and  along  the  river  for  the  Sacramento  and 
San  Francisco  market,  where  they  find  ready  sales  and  fair 
prices.  It  is  probable  that  a  jjrofitable  source  of  industry 
could  be  inaugurated  by  cultivating  and  improving  the  wild 


YOLO  COUNTY.  93 

blackberry.  The  fruit  arrives  at  maturity  in  its  wild  state 
in  advance  of  any  of  the  varieties  now  cultivated,  and 
doubtless  careful  cultivation  would  improve  both  the  qualitj^, 
quantity  and  the  time  of  maturity.  The  experiment  is  cer- 
tainly worth  trying. 

Bable's  Slough. 

This  slough  connects  the  tule  v/itli  the  Sacramento  Eiver, 
having  its  outlet  in  the  marshes,  about  five  miles  from 
Bable's  Eanch,  where  it  leaves  the  river.  Its  course  is 
southAvest  for  about  half  its  length,  when  it  turns  to  the 
southeast,  and  follows  that  course  until  lost  in  the  marshes. 
Along  its  banks  are  some  good  grazing,  and,  in  ordinary 
seasons,  grain  farms.  The  breadth  of  land  is  wider  than 
that  of  Elk  Slough,  though  its  average  height  is  less,  sub- 
jecting it  more  frequently  to  overflow.  As  it  approaches 
the  river,  the  land  rises  considerably,  and  at  the  river  the 
banks  have  never  been  submerged.  On  the  fifteenth  of  May, 
1849,  Mr.  F.  Babel  settled  at  this  point,  and  has  remained 
there  since.  He  was  the  first  settler  in  this  part  of  the 
county,  and  from  him  the  slough  derives  its  name.  It 
has  long  been  a  noted  point  on  the  river— one  of  the  old 
land-marks  which  has  not  changed  with  the  intervening 
years.  The  old  sycamore  tree  fronting  the  farm  house  can 
be  seen  for  a  long  distance  either  way  from  the  decks  of  the 
passing  steamers.  At  the  foot  of  this  old  sycamore,  the 
bodies  of  two  men  were  recovered,  who  were  drowned  in 
the  floods  of  '62,  and  their  bodies  were  buried  near  the 
roots  of  the  old  monarch  of  the  river. 

The  floods  which  have  at  times  swept  over  the  low  lands 
have  never  reached  the  high  ground  on  which  the  buildings 
are  situated,  though  portions  of  the  farm  have  been  sub- 
merged. 

The  land  here,  as  well  as  that  along  the  slough,  is  adapted 
to  stock,  and  the  ranchers  in  this  locality  follow  this  occupa- 
tion. Babel's  Eanch,  Ristine's  Eanch,  and  that  of  the  Du 
Bose  Brothers  (further  up  the  river),  are  fine  stock  farms, 
and  some  of  the  best  stock  in  the  county  is  found  there.

Islands. 

lu  coiiuectiou  with  tlie  lauds  bordering  tliese  slouglis,  we 
will  give  a  short  description  of  one  of  the  largest  islands  in 
the  county,  formed  by  one  of  the  streams  which  we  have 
named  and  the  river.     We  refer  to 


Merritt's  Island. 

This  island,  from  which  Merritt  Township  takes  its  name, 
is  formed  by  Sutter  aud  Elk  sloughs  and  the  Sacramento 
Eiver.  It  is  bounded  on  the  south  by  Sutter  Slough,  west 
and  north  by  Elk  Slough,  and  on  the  east  by  the  Sacra- 
mento River.  Elk  Slough  is  filled,  or  partially  so,  at  each 
end,  and  has  no  running  water  in  the  summer.  Sutter 
Slough  is  a  large  arm  of  the  river,  but,  owing  to  snags  and 
other  obstructions,  is  unnavigable. 

Merritt's  Island  may  be  considered  as  the  extreme  south- 
ern part  of  the  county,  some  few  farms,  however,  lying  on 
the  other  side  of  Sutter  Slough.  There  are  a  few  farms 
lying  w^est  of  Elk  Slough  and  on  the  northwestern  bank 
of  Sutter  Slough  that  are  as  far  to  the  southward  as  the 
southern  end  of  Merritt's  Island,  and  one  or  two  extend 
a  little  below  the  southern  line.  By  the  river  road  from 
the  extreme  southern  end  of  the  island  to  Woodland  is 
about  forty-five  miles,  owing  to  the  tortuous  course  of 
the  river,  whose  banks  present  the  only  high  ground  on 
which  a  road  could  be  located. 

The  island  is  about  eight  miles  long,  with  an  average 
width  of  two  miles.  Along  the  river,  which  has  nearly  a 
north  and  south  course  at  this  particular  point,  the  garden, 
or  high  land,  has  an  average  width  of  about  seventy  rods, 
which  is  protected  by  a  substantial  levee,  over  which  the 
highest  floods  have  not  risen.  On  Elk  Slough  the  island 
has  a  frontage  of  high  land,  averaging  about  thirty  rods  in 
width,  unprotected  by  a  levee.  The  intervening  land,  be- 
tween the  slough  and  river,  is  a  shallow  tule  swamp,  in 
which  but  little  water  stands  during  the  summer,  affording 
excellent  range  for  stock  of  all  kinds.     This  land  is  very 


YOLO   COUNTY.  95 

productive,  when  cultivated,  and  were  it  reclaimed  its 
value  could  hardly  be  overestimated.  The  island  contains 
four  thousand  nine  hundred  and  fifty-three  acres,  of  which 
about  three  thousand  are  in  tule. 

During  the  dry  year,  when  grain  crops  were  almost  a 
total  failure  through  the  county,  Mr.  Green  broke  a  portion 
of  this  tule  with  three  horses,  and  planted  it  to  barley  on 
the  twenty-eighth  of  April.  The  yield  was  forty  bushels 
to  the  acre.  A  plan  is  now  under  consideration  by  which 
the  island  may  be  reclaimed;  and  the  project  is  certainly 
feasible.  It  is  proposed  to  segregate  the  island  from  the 
district  in  which  it  is  located,  and  create  of  it  a  separate 
swamp  land  district.  Then,  by  leveeing  on  Elk  and  Sutter 
sloughs,  joining  the  river  levees  at  each'  Snd  of  the  island, 
the  back-water  (which  now  causes  the  overflow)  could  be 
kept  out  and  the  whole  body  of  the  land  be  reclaimed. 
Whether  this  will  be  accomplished  is  probably  simply  a 
question,  of  time,  as  most  of  the  land-owners  are  in  favor 
of  the  measure.  The  expense  would  be  heavy,  but  the 
increased  value  of  the  land  would  more  than  compensate 
for  the  outlay.  The  island  was  settled  in  1851,  by  J.  B. 
Green,  Mr.  Cave  and  several  others — some  of  whom  still 
remain  in  their  origin9,l  locations. 

While  speaking  of  islands,  it  may  be  well  to  glance  at 

Grand  Island, 

The  largest  island  in  the  county  limits,  and  one  of  the 
largest  in  the  Sacramento  River.  About  twelve  or  fifteen 
miles  in  length  of  this  island  lies  within  the  county  limits, 
the  remainder  in  Colusa  County.  It  possesses  a  luxuriant 
soil,  suitable  for  grain,  orchards,  gardens  or  grazing.  The 
more  elevated  portions  of  the  island  are  devoted  to  grain 
growing,  the  remainder  to  stock  ranges.  Some  very  fine 
orchards  are  on  the  island — one  within  the  limits  of  Co- 
lusa County,  of  grand  proportions. 

Sycamore  Slough

the  main  bed  in  Colusa  County,  to  find  it  again  near 
Kuiglit's  Landing  or  Grafton.  About  fifteen  miles  of  its 
course  are  within  the  borders  of  this  county,  the  larger 
portion  of  which  lies  through  tule  marshes.  During  the 
season  of  high  water,  the  slough  is  full  and  strongly  de- 
fined, but  during  the  summer  there  is  no  running  water  in 
its  course.  It  does  not  possess  high  banks,  like  Elk  or 
Babel  Slough,  with  the  exception  of  that  portion  near 
Knight's  Landing,  where  are  some  splendid  furms  along  its 
course. 

Cache  Creek. 

This  beautiful  stream  has  its  source  in  Clear  Lake,  Lake 
County.  F¥o«*  pnence  it  flows  southeast,  through  Cache 
Creek  Canon  for  twenty  miles,  until  it  reaches  the  head  of 
Capay  Valley.  Continuing  its  southeast  course  for  about 
fifteen  miles,  it  then  turns  to  the  eastward,  and  five  miles 
from  this  point  leaves  Capay  Valley  and  debouches  on  the 
plains.  From  Lang's  its  course  is  south  of  east  for  a  few 
miles,  or  to  the  east  end  of  the  Gordon  Grant,  where  it 
turns  to  the  northward  and,  following  a  general  northeast 
course,  enters  the  tule  swamps  near  Laugenour's  Eanch, 
the  "sink"  being  about  twenty  miles  from  where  it  left 
Capay  Valley. 

For  the  first  twenty  miles,  through  Cache  Creek  Caiion, 
the  scenery  is  quite  grand  and  impressive.  Flowing 
through  a  rugged  range  of  mountains,  cleft  asunder,  as  it 
were,  from  top  to  bottom,  it  presents  precipitous  walls  of 
solid  slate  and  granite  bare  of  verdure,  while,  on  either 
hand,  the  gulches  and  ravines  which  occasionally  force 
their  way  through  the  solid  walls,  dark  and  gloomy  in  their 
wild  grandness,  are  lined  with  a  dense  growth  of  chapar- 
ral. This  is  a  favorite  haunt  for  deer,  beai?  and  other 
game,  who  roam  free  and  undisturbed  in  this  wild  region. 
The  hunter  rarely  troubles  them  with  his  presence,  and  the 
canon  is  as  free  from  the  settler's  influence  to-day  as  it  was 
when  Mr.  Gordon  first  ascended  its  rocky  bed,  thirty  years 
ago.  The  stream  is  well  suj)plied  with  fish  of  excellent 
varieties,  but  we  note  the  absence  of  the  mountain  trout. 


YOLO  COUNTY.  97 

Tliere  is  an  abundance  of  water-power,  wliicli  at  some  day 
will  be  turned  to  good  account  in  driving  macliinerj. 

Through  Capay  Valley  the  stream  winds  among  giant 
oaks,  which  dot  vast  fields  of  grain  in  inviting  groves  and 
pleasant  retreats  from  the  summer's  scorching  sun. 

Without  doubt  the  loveliest  part  of  Yolo  County  is  Capay 
Valley,  when  clothed  with  the  verdure  of  spring  and  enliv- 
ened by  the  murmuring  waters  of  Cache  Creek,  which 
meanders  through  it-  at  this  time  of  the  year  a  formidable 
river. 

At  the  mouth  of  Capay  Valley,  or  at  Lang's,  is  the  Hun- 
gry Hollow  Ford,  w^hich  is  considered  safe  at  most  seasons 
of  the  year.  Below  this  place  are  several  fords  at  intervals, 
and  at  Cacheville  and  Nelson's  RancJi  are  substantial 
bridges. 

During  the  season  of  drought  the  creek  bed  is  dry  at 
intervals  on  the  plains,  owing  to  the  water  ditches  which 
deploy  the  main  volume  of  water  from  its  natural  bed, 
and  to  the  general  sinkage  of  the  water  in  the  sands.  Still 
there  is  enough  for  stock  purposes,  standing  in  pools  or 
springs.     It  also  supplies  the  following 


Agricultural  Ditches. 

There  are  three  ditches  located  on  Cache  Creek,  two  of 
Avhich  are  completed  and  in  use : 

The  Cacheville  Agricultural  Ditch  heads  on  the  north 
side  of  the  creek,  about  five  miles  above  Cacheville.  This 
ditch  is  used  for  irrigation  and  also  as  the  motive  power  of 
the  Cacheville  flour  mills.     Value,  five  thousand  dollars. 

The  Woodland  Agricultural  Ditch,  or  Moore's  Ditch, 
taps  the  creek  on  the  south  side,  about  ten  miles,  from 
Woodland.  This  ditch  is  used  solely  for  irrigation,  cover- 
ing that  section  of  the  county  around  Woodland  and  lying 
between  that  point  and  the  creek.  Value,  ten  thousand 
dollars. 

Stephens'  Ditch,  which  taps  the  creek  on  the  south  side, 
well  up  in  Capay  Valley,  would  afford  water  for  a  large 
7 


98  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

scope  of  country  around  Cottonwood.  This  ditch  has  been 
partially  completed,  but,  owing  to  the  loss  of  the  dam  by 
floods,  it  is  at  present  unused  and  unvalued. 

Putah  Creek. 

This  stream  rises  in  Big  Canon,  Lake  County,  about 
twelve  miles  from  the  source  of  Cache  Creek,  and  follows 
in  a  southerly  direction  for  several  miles,  when  it  turns 
to  the  eastward,  and,  after  traversing  a  portion  of  Napa 
County,  forms  the  southern  boundary  of  Yolo  County  for 
about  thirty  miles,  when  it  sinks  in  the  tule  marshes  at 
Montgomery's  Ranch,  in  Putah  Township,  about  eighty 
miles  from  its  source. 

The  headwaters  of  Putah  Creek,  in  Big  Canon,  rise  in 
one  large  spring,  which  gushes  out  from  the  mountain  side 
about  fifty  feet  above  the  bed  of  the  gulch,  clear,  cold  and 
sparkling  as  the  waters  of  the  Sierras.  The  volume  of 
water  measures  two  hundred  and  fifty  inches,  and  is  secured 
in  ponds,  ditches  and  reservoirs,  forming  Roberts'  Trout 
Farm. 

The  canon  is  alive  with  mountain  trout,  the  larger  of 
Avhich  reach  a  M-eight  of  three  pounds.  From  this  spring, 
through  Big  Canon,  the  scenery  is  grand,  wild  and  rugged. 
The  mountains  are  covered  with  pine  and  oak,  and  a  favor- 
ite resort  for  various  kinds  of  wild  animals,  deer  and  bear 
predominating.  After  entering  Putah  Caiion  the  stream  is 
increased  in  volume  by  the  addition  of  several  minor 
creeks,  though  at  no  time  does  it  average  in  size  with 
Cache  Creek. 

During  the  winter  rains  the  creek  rises  very  suddenly, 
often  overflowing  its  banks  and  sweeping  everything  before 
it;  but  these  floods  last  but  for  a  few  davs,  and  often  but 
for  a  few  hours.  The  water-shed  of  this  creek  is  much  less 
than  that  of  Cache  Creek,  which  drains  the  whole  of  the 
Clear  Lake  country. 

Gardens  of  Putah  Creek. 
On   Putah  Creek  are   the   famed  early  gardens   of    the 


YOLO   COUNTY.  99 

State.  Tliese  gardens  are  in  both  Yolo  and  Solano  coun- 
ties, and  justly  rank  among  the  most  valuable  in  the  State. 
The  produce  from  this  section  generally  reaches  San  Fran- 
cisco in  advance  of  any  other,  and  at  a  time  when  enor- 
mous prices  are  realized  for  fruit  and  vegetables.  Peaches, 
grapes,  pears,  etc.,  ripen  here  from  six  to  ten  days  in 
advance  of  any  part  of  the  State  accessible  to  San  Fran- 
cisco, with  the  exception  of  Edgar's  Garden,  in  Yolo 
County,  which  possesses  the  same  advantages  though  situ- 
ated in  another  part  of  the  foothills.  These  gardens  now 
afford  profitable  employment  to  a  number  of  men,  and  they 
will  doubtless  be  increased  in  size  as  fast  as  practicable, 
until  the  garden  land  of  the  foothills  shall  all  be  l^nder 
cultivation. 

■Buckeye  Creek. 

This  stream  rises  in  the  foothills  of  Buckeye  Township, 
formed  by  Pine  Canon  and  Salt  Arroyos.  It  is  dry  in  sum- 
mer, but  in  winter' it  has  a  channel  of  several  miles  in 
length,  which  traverses  the  plains  in  a  westerly  direction, 
its  waters  passing  off  through  Deep  Arroyo  and  Willow 
Slough  to  the  tule  marshes  about  fifteen  miles  from  its 
source.  Deep  Arroyo  is  probably  the  old  bed  of  Buckeye 
Creek,  through  which  its  waters  found  an  uninterrupted 
channel  to  the  slough  in  the  olden  time,  when  there  was 
more  water  in  these  channels  than  has  been  known  within 
the  memory  of  the  "oldest  settler." 

Cottonwood  Creek. 

This  stream  rises  from  a  spring  on  Scott's  Mountain 
Ranch,  about  seven  miles  from  the  plains,  and  follows  a 
northeast  course  until  it  approaches  the  south  corner  of  the 
Canada  de  Capay  Grant,  when  it  turns  to  the  southeast  and 
is  lost  in  the  cottonwood  plains.  Daring  the  winter,  when 
the  channel  is  full,  the  waters  of  Cottonwood  find  their 
outlet  in  Willow  Slough,  twelve  miles  from  where  it  enters 
the  plains,  nineteen  or  twenty  miles  from  its  source. 

This  stream  is  dry  during  the  summer,  with  the  excej)- 


100  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

tion  of  tlie  main  mountain  spring  and  an  occasional  spring 
or  pond-hole  along  its  course,  until  it  reaches  tlie  plains, 
where  these  disappear. 

Dry  Creek. 

Dry  Creek  is  formed  by  numerous  arroyos  and  gulches, 
which,  leaving  the  foothills  in  the  northwestern  part  of  the 
county,  unite  and  form  this  stream  near  the  base  of  the 
range.  The  general  course  of  the  stream  is  west  north- 
west, for  about  iifteeu  miles  from  its  source,  where  it  dis- 
charges its  winter  floods  in  the  tule  marshes  near  Dunigan's 
Eanch.  This  stream  is  dry  in  the  summer,  as  its  name  de- 
notes, with  the  exception  of  a  few  springs  in  its  mountain 
gulches ;  but  during  the  winter  rains,  quite  a  large  volume 
of  water  reaches  the  tules  through  its  channel. 

Water. 

Yolo  County  is  very  well  watered  by  the  streams  enumer- 
ated, sufficiently  so  to  render  it  a  good  stock  country;  but, 
aside  from  that,  it  would  be  considered  rather  deficient  in 
this  necessary  element.  It  is  true  that  springs  are  rare  on 
the  plains,  but  water  is  readily  obtained  by  boring  in  any 
locality.  Around  Woodland  the  water  is  hard,  and  strongly 
impregnated  with  mineral.  The  average  dej)th  at  which 
water  is  obtained  is  about  eighteen  feet.  The  Court-house 
well  is  sunk  one  hundred  and  thirty  feet,  for  the  purpose  of 
testing  whether  a  flowing  well  could  be  obtained  here  as 
well  as  in  other  valleys,  but  the  projeetors  quit  their  labors 
before  the  question  was  decided.  At  that  dejith  a  stream 
was  struck  which  produces  excellent  water,  though  no  colder 
than  some  other  wells  near  by,  of  much  less  depth.  In  the 
section  bordering  the  tules  the  water  is  from  six  to  ten  feet 
below  the  surface,  but  the  wells  are  generally  bored  through 
the  first  stream  and  into  the  under  channels,  from  twenty  to 
thirty  feet  below  the  surface.  In  the  vicinity  of  Putah 
Creek  the  wells  average  from  twelve  to  fifteen  feet,  and  the 
quality  of  the  water  is  good,  though  hard.  In  the  gravel- 
belt  spoken  of,  the  wells  range  from  thirty  feet  downward, 


*       YOLO   COUNTY.        ,  101 

tlie  well  at  Webster's  Blacksmith  sliop  being  but  eight  feet 
deep,  and  the  water  rising  within  four  feet  of  the  surface. 
Around  Cottonwood  the  wells  average  about  twentj-two  feet, 
and  around  Buckeye  thej  are  from  two  to  five  feet  less  in 
depth.  Skirting  the  foothills  the  wells  are  deeper,  in  some 
cases  the  wells  being  tubed  one  hundred  and  fifty  feet,  the 
water  rising  within  forty  and  forty-five  feet  of  the  surface. 
This  is  the  case  on  Scott's  Farm,  where  two  wells  but  a  mile 
apart  present  this  diflerence.  One  is  sunk  one  hundred  and 
fifty  feet,  the  water  being  within  forty-five  feet  of  the  sur- 
face, while  the  other  is  sunk  but  forty-five  feet  and  the  wa- 
ter rises  within  thirty-five  feet  of  the  top.  A  mile  from  the 
latter  well  is  one  on  the  same  ranch,  twenty-five  feet  deep, 
and  supplied  with  pure,  soft  water.  We  note  another  well 
about  two  miles  from  the  latter,  also  soft  water,  and  about 
the  same  depth.  With  but  few  exceptions  the  well  water  is 
hard  throughout  the  county,  and  in  some  sections  salt  and 
brackish.  Such  is  the  case  along  a  strip  of  land  lying  back 
of  Knight's  Landing  and  bordering  on  the  tule  marshes.  The 
coldest  well  water  obtained  in  the  county  is  along  the  Sac- 
ramento Biver,  where  many  wells  are  found  whose  waters 
resemble  in  taste  those  of  the  mountain  springs.  The  aver- 
age depth  of  water,  as  reached  throughout  the  county,  might 
be  put  at  twenty  feet;  the  general  quality  hard  and  slightly 
mineral. 

Sulphur  Springs. 

In  Cottonwood  Canon,  Salt  Arroyo  and  in  several  locali- 
ties among  the  foothills  are  several  springs  strongly  imjoreg- 
nated  with  sulphur.  None  have  been  turned  to  any  purpose 
as  yet,  the  water  not  being  in  sufficient  quantities  to  maka 
them  of  much  note.  Their  medicinal  qualities  have  never 
been  tested,  except  by  thirsty  wanderers,  and  the  stock 
which  frequent  the  watering-places.  The  latter  having 
never  expressed  an  opinion  regarding  the  merits  of  these 
waters,  and  as  we  have  no  other  reliable  authority  on  this 
point,  we  are  compelled  to  remain  silent. 

Timber. 
The  county  is  comparatively  well  wooded,  though  large 


102  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

portions  of  it  are  bare  of  trees,  especially  portions  of  the 
plains.  The  foothills  and  mountains  produce  several  varie- 
ties of  timber,  including  oak  and  willow  or  nut-pine.  Of 
shrubs,  the  manzanita,  spice  or  nutmeg  tree,  wild  plum 
and  elder  are  in  the  ascendency,  though  there  are  other 
varieties  of  less  note.  Among  the  oak  family  are  the  post 
or  white  oak,  pin  oak,  shrub  oak,  red  oak,  black  or  moun- 
tain oak,  burr  oak  and  water  oak.  Two  varieties — the  black 
and  red  oak — furnish  a  very  good  substitute  for  Eastern  oak 
in  departments  of  manufacture.  The  j)Ost  oak,  both  in  the 
mountains  and  on  the  plains,  furnishes  material  for  excel- 
lent posts,  preferred  by  many  to  ordinary  or  brash  red- 
wood. 

The  willow  pine  is  little  used,  it  being  valueless  for  any 
building  purposes,  where  exposed  to  the  weather  or  resting 
on  the  ground.  There  are  large  bodies  of  this  timber  which 
would  eventually  find  a  ready  market  were  there  means  of 
cheap  transportation  between  the  canon  and  points  near  the 
mining  counties,  where  this  wood  is  used  extensively  in  the 
form  of  blocks  or  riiBes,  for  the  lining  of  the  flumes  and 
tail-races  of  the  mining  claims.  In  the  mining  sections  this 
timber  has  been  exhausted,  and  these  blocks  are  now  hauled 
on  wagons  for  many  miles,  rendering  them  very  expensive. 

The  laurel  is  occasionally  found  in  the  hills  of  this  county, 
but  not  in  quantities,  or  of  size  sufficient  to  render  it  of  any 
interest  or  value.  Yolo  County  may  be  said  to  possess  no 
building  or  fencing  timber  within  her  limits,  the  quality 
and  character  of  her  timber  rendering  it  suitable  for  wood 
alone.  With  proper  care,  the  supply  of  wood  is  sufficient 
for  all  the  county  for  many  years  to  come,  but  in  manj^  parts 
this  care  is  not  exercised,  and  the  county  is  fast  being  de- 
nuded of  its  chief  beauty — its  noble  groves  of  oaks,  Avliich 
are  cut  into  cord-wood  and  sent  to  other  localities.  Wood- 
land, once  surrounded  by  beautiful  groves,  is  almost  strip- 
ped of  its  chief  ornament.  The  traveler  who  visited  this 
county  fifteen  years  ago  could  not  fail  of  being  favorably 
impressed  with  its  well-wooded  streams  and  the  tracts  of 
oak  timber  which  marked  the  old  water  courses.  Should 
he  return  now,  he  would  find  biit  a  small  portion  of  this 


YOLO   COUNTY.  103 

peculiar  beauty  remaining.  The  Americans  have  justly 
been  called  the  exterminators  of  timber.  In  no  civilized 
country  are  the  laws  regarding  the  wanton  waste  of  timber 
so  loosely  framed  or  so  little  regarded  as  in  our  own.  And 
Math  the  lessons  of  the  past  before  us,  we  have  not  ceased 
in  our  insane  efforts  to  destroy  the  only  real  beauty  to  be 
found  on  these  plains.  Thousands  of  cords  of  oak  have 
been  destroyed  in  this  county  by  the  timber  being  felled 
for  brush  fences  and  rotting  in  that  position.  Thousands  of 
cords  are  annually  wasted  by  the  careless,  wasteful  manner 
in  which  the  trees  are  worked  into  wood.  And  year  by  year 
the  noble  oaks  are  felled,  long  before  their  prime,  that  the 
money  realized  from  their  sales  may  be  drawing  interest  for 
their  former  owners.  A  few  years  hence  and  the  effect  of 
this  wanton  destruction  of  timber  will  be  felt,  when  Cache 
Creek  and  th«  plains  shall  be  stripped  of  their  groves  a]id 
left  bare  and  dreary. 

All  are  aware,  or  should  be,  of  the  great  influence  exerted 
on  the  atmosphere,  the  water  and  the  health  of  a  community 
by  the  timber.  Take,  for  example,  the  changes  that  have 
occurred,  compare  the  present  with  the  past  of  those  lands 
once  heavily  timbered  bitt  now  stripped  of  their  forests. 
A.  scarcity  of  water,  warmer  summers,  colder  winters,  and 
diseases  before  unknown  are  among  the  results  plainly  at- 
tributed to  the  destruction  of  the  forests.  There  is  an  excuse 
for  the  total  removal  of  timber  from  fields  in  countries  where 
the  necessities  of  agriculture  demand  it.  But  that  excuse 
is  not  valid  when  urged  in  extenuation  of  the  crime — for  we 
can  call  it  by  no  milder  name — by  which  these  plains  are 
being  shorn  of  their  most  valuable  ornament.  And  we 
make  this  plea  for  the  preservation  of  these  grand  old  oaks 
from  wanton  destruction,  in  hopes  that  some  lovers  of  na- 
ture may  be  induced  to  spare  the  timber  as  much  and  as 
long  as  possible,  that  the  coming  generations  may  partake 
of  the  natural  beauties  and  advantages  so  lavishly  bestowed 
on  their  ancestors.  If  this  suicidal  course  is  continued, 
and  no  timber  planted,  Yolo  County  will  be  compelled  to 
import  fire-wood  ere  fifty  years  shall  elapse.  And  when 
the  groves  of  oaks  are  no  more,  the  changes  in  climate,  health 


104  THE  WESTEEN  SHOKE  GAZETTEER. 

and  fertility  will  attest  the  folly  of  those  who  thus  wantonly 
transgress  the  laws  of  nature  and  of  reason.  Plant  timber; 
rather  plant  an  acre  than  destroy  a  tree  without  Just  cause. 
If  farmers  would  plant  say  ten  or  twenty  acres  of  their  one 
hundred  and  sixty,  to  timber  of  rapid  growth,  within  ten, 
at  the  farthest  fifteen,  years  these  plains  would  become  the 
loveliest  part  of  the  State.  Aside  from  the  advantages  of 
health,  comfort  and  beauty,  these  bodies  of  timber  would 
become  sources  of  great  and  lasting  wealth.  The  locust, 
walnut,  black  walnut,  white  walnut  or  butternut,  the  pecan, 
and  other  valuable  woods,  grow  readily  and  rapidly  in  this 
climate,  and  in  a  few  years,  by  additional  plantings  to  meet 
the  expected  cuttings,  the  large  and  constantly-increasing 
trade  in  Eastern  hard  lumber  would  be  transferred  to  our 
own  State,  and  millions  of  money  annually  expended  abroad 
would  be  kept  at  home.  The  love  of  gain,  whi^h  has  caused 
the  wholesale  destruction  of  the  timber,  should  induce  men 
to  plant  more,  even  if  no  other  inducement  were  offered. 
Remember  that  the  large  timber  of  California  sprouts  not 
when  felled;  that  a  grove  once  felled  has  passed  away  for- 
ever. 

We  propose  now  to  consider  some  of  the  various  produc- 
tions of  this  county,  that  are  not  generally  raised  elsewhere. 

Peanuts. 

In  1853,  Dr.  Joshua  S.  Curtis  brought  fifty  pounds  of 
peanuts  from  New  Orleans  and  planted  them  in  his  garden, 
on  the  Sacramento  River,  one  and  a  half  miles  below  Wash- 
ington. This  was  the  first  experiment  of  raising  peanuts  in 
this  State.  This  effort  proving  successful,  the  Doctor  fol- 
lowed it  up  the  succeeding  year  on  a  more  enlarged  scale, 
and  has  continued  in  the  business  since.  During  the  first 
few  years  the  experiment  proved  very  remunerative,  and 
several  others  engaged  in  the  enterprise. 

As  the  product  became  larger  the  price  decreased,  until  a 
much  smaller  margin  for  profit  was  left  the  producer;  but 
still  the  amount  planted  increases  annually.  This  year  there 
are  about  forty  acres  planted  on  the  ranches  of  the  Doctor 


YOLO  COUNTY.  105 

and  liis  son.  The  first  lot  shipped  to  San  Francisco  brought 
twenty -five  cents  per  pound,  at  that  price  yielding  an  income 
of  five  hundred  dollars  per  acre.  Gradually  the  price  has 
decreased,  the  lowest  point  reached  being  eight  cents  per 
pound.  Last  year's  crop  brought  ten  cents,  though  a  few 
Chinamen  gardeners  sold  for  eight  cents. 

The  average  yield  on  favorable  soil  is  one  ton  per  acre, 
though  the  crop  sometimes  is  heavier.  The  nuts  are  planted 
in  hills  like  potatoes,  and  cultivated  in  much  the  same  man- 
ner. The  vines  are  covered  twice,  leaving  but  the  ends 
above  the  surface.  This  causes  a  new  setting  of  nuts  at 
each  covering.  It  is  supposed  that  the  crop  is  sure,  as  no 
failure  has  been  known  where  the  vines  were  properly  cul- 
tivated and  planted  in  congenial  soil. 

The  soil  required  for  successful  cultivation  is  a  loose, 
sandy  loam,  such  as  is  suitable  for  sweet  potatoes.  When 
planted  in  this  kind  of  soil  and  properly  attended,  the 
result  has,  so  far,  been  very  flattering. 

It  is  not  likely  that  the  demand  for  this  article  will  induce 
the  raising  of  the  nut  for  export.  The  home  market  will 
constitute  the  demand,  and  that  is  in  a  measure  quite  lim- 
ited. Owing  to  the  facility  with  which  they  are  grown 
(one  man  can  take  care  of  from  five  to  seven  acres,  except 
during  harvest),  the  home  market  has  been  already  closed 
to  importers  and  fully  supplied  with  the  State  product. 
There  was  none  imported  last  year,  and  probably  will  not 
be  during  the  present  season.  The  sales  in  San  Francisco 
alone  reached  over  fifty  thousand  dollars  last  season,  and 
the  main  part  of  the  nuts  thus  sold  were  raised  in  Yolo 
County. 

From  the  small  beginning  of  fifty  pounds,  planted  by 
Dr.  Curtis  in  1853,  has  sprung  up  an  annual  trade  of 
about  three  hundred  tons,  grown  in  this  county.  If  it 
were  not  probable  that  the  market  would  be  easily  over- 
crowded, many  more  acres  would  be  planted  annually, 
for  there  is  a  deal  of  land  along  the  river  and  creeks  suit- 
able for  this  plant.  Owing  to  the  price  of  labor,  it  will 
not  be  found  profitable  to  grow  them  for  export. 

There  is  one  peculiarity  about  the  peanut  culture,  noted 


106  THE  WESTERN  SHORE   GAZETTEER. 

by  those  who  have  followed  the  business  for  years.  It 
does  uct  seem  to  injure  the  land,  or  detract  from  the  natu- 
ral strength  of  soil  in  the  least,  but,  on  the  contrary,  seems 
to  keep  the  soil  loose  and  lively,  leaving  it  enhanced  in 
value  by  the  thorough  cultivation  necessary  to  eradicate 
the  weeds  and  keep  it  in  a  healthy  condition. 

Silk  Culture. 

From  I.  N.  Hoag  we  have  received  a  comprehensive  ac- 
count of  the  silk  interest  of  this  county.  We  commend 
it  to  the  careful  perusal  of  our  readers,  as  it  embodies 
the  experience  of  one*  who  has  been  long  and  earnestly 
engaged  in  the  business,  as  well  as  the  experience  of  all 
prominent  sericulturists  in  the  county.  Coming,  as  it  does, 
from  one  actively  engaged  in  the  business,  it  possesses  a 
value  far  above  the  crude  oj)inions  or  hasty  sketches  of 
the  uninitiated  writer  on  the  subject. 

While  the  feeding  of  the  silk-worm  as  an  experiment, 
and  upon  a  small  scale,  had  been  followed  by  the  late  Louis 
Prevost,  in  Santa  Clara  Countj^,  for  a  number  of  years 
previous  to  its  introduction  into  any  other  county  of  the 
State,  Yolo  County  has  the  undoubted  honor  of  intro- 
ducing this  rich  industry  as  a  matter  of  real,  legitimate 
and  lucrative  business.  In  1867,  the  writer,  having  be- 
come satisfied  of  the  adaptability  of  our  soil  and  climate 
to  the  prosecution  of  this  branch  of  husbandry,  and  desir- 
ing to  add  one  more  to  the  limited  list  of  agricultural 
products  of  our  State,  planted  ten  acres  of  land,  situated 
on  the  Sacramento  River,  about  two  miles  above  the  Town 
of  Washington,  with  mulberry  cuttings  and  seed.  The 
cuttings  were  very  successful — but  a  very  small  proportion 
of  the  seed  planted  grew.  However,  as  a  result  of  the 
enterprise,  he  produced  about  half  a  million  of  thrifty 
trees.  These  trees  were  grown  partly  for  his  own  use  in 
the  production  of  silk,  and  partly  for  sale;  but  as  no  one 
had  yet  made  a  financial  success  in  feeding  silk-worms  in 
the  State,  Mr.  Hoag  found  no  demand  for  his  trees,  as  he 
had  hoped,  during  the  winter  and  spring  of  1868.     During 


YOLO  COUNTY.  107 

the  spring  and  summer  of  that  year,  however,  he  fed  the 
leaves  from  the  trees  produced  from  his  morns  multicaulis 
cutting  on  three  and  one-half  acres  of  land  (the  trees  then 
being  a  little  more  than  one  year  old)  to  the  worms  pro- 
duced from  about  ten  ounces  of  silk-worm  eggs;  and,  as  a 
financial  result,  he  made  a  net  profit,  over  and  above  all 
expenses  of  feeding,  of  three  thousand  four  hundred  and 
forty-eight  dollars.  The  time  occupied  in  feeding  the 
worms  and  preparing  the  product  for  sale  was  only  about 
six  weeks,  commencing  on  the  first  of  June  and  ending  on 
the  twenty-fifth  of  July. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  trees  from  which  the  leaves  were 
picked  were  only  a  little  over  one  year  old  from  the  first 
cuttings.  The  success  of  this  first  real  business  operation 
in  this  industry  called  the  public  attention  to  it  more  effect- 
ually than  would  thousands  of  pages  of  finely-written  argu- 
ments in  its  favor,  and  in  1869  there  were  many  plantations 
of  mulberry  trees  started  in  almost  all  portions  of  the  State. 
Among  the  largest  and  most  important  of  these  is  that  of 
the  California  Silk  Culture  Association,  located  near  Davis- 
ville,  in  this  county.  This  company  is  composed  mostly 
of  San  Francisco  capitalists,  and  it  was  organized  through 
the  energy  and  enterprise  of  our  indomitable  fellow-citizen, 
C.  W.  Eeed,  who  is  himself  a  large  owner  in  the  concern. 
The  company's  mulberry  plantations  now  cover  one  hun- 
dred acres  of  land  and  contain  about  six  hundred  thousand 
trees  from  two  to  three  years  old.  They  have  erected  two 
large  and  well-arranged  cocooneries  ;  one  in  the  spring  of 
1869,  the  dimensions  of  which  are  thirty  by  one  hundred 
feet  square  on  the  ground  and  two  stories  high.  The  other 
was  built  in  1870  and  is  much  larger  and  better.  Both  are 
capable  of  accommodating  the  worms  from  over  one  hun- 
dred ounces  of  eggs  at  the  same  time.  In  the  spring  of 
1869,  the  same  year  in  which  the  trees  were  planted,  the 
company  made  about  a  million  of  cocoons,  most  of  which 
they  reeled,  producing  some  of  the  finest  raw  silk  ever 
shown  in  any  country.  In  the  spring  of  1870  they  made 
over  two  millions  of  cocoons,  a  portion  of  which  were  al- 
lowed to  hatch  and  reproduce  eggs  to  the  number  of  some 


108  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

three  tliousaiid  ounces.  The  eggs  have  nearly  all  been 
sold  at  an  average  of  four  dollars  per  ounce,  for  export  to 
Europe. 

Encouraged  by  their  success  so  far,  the  company  have 
determined  to  extend  their  operations,  both  as  to  the  size 
of  their  plantations  and  the  number  of  the  cocooneries. 
They  will  also  add  buildings  and  machinery  for  reeling  silk 
on  a  large  scale. 

Mr.  Hoag  has  also  extended  his  plantation,  so  that  the 
ground  now  occupied  by  his  trees  is  about  fifty  acres  and 
the  trees  number  about  two  hundred  thousand,  between 
three  and  four  years  old.  He  has  three  cocooneries,  one 
fifty  feet  square,  one  fift}'  by  sixty  and  the  other  thirty-six 
by  forty,  capable  of  feeding  the  worms  from  eighty  to  one 
hundred  ounces  of  eggs.  His  trees  are  about  half  multi- 
caulis  and  half  moretti  or  alba. 

Besides  the  above,  there  are  within  the  county  other 
establishments  for  the  cultivation  of  silk,  on  a  less  formi- 
dable scale,  among  which  may  be  mentioned  that  of  H.  G. 
Ballou,  on  the  Sacramento  Kiver,  four  miles  above  Wash- 
ington. Mr.  Ballou  commenced  in  the  spring  of  18C9. 
He  has  about  twenty  thousand  trees,  covering  some  ten 
acres  of  land.  The  success  of  Mr.  Ballou  has  also  been 
very  gratifying.  He  gives  as  the  result  of  his  first  year's 
feeding,  from  a  limited  number  of  trees,  a  net  profit  at  the 
rate  of  seven  hundred  and  sixty  dollars  per  acre. 

James  Haworth,  some  two  miles  below  Washington, 
has  a  plantation  of  about  ten  thousand  trees,  and  has  been 
engaged  in  feeding  worms  for  the  past  three  years  with 
uniform  success.  Dr.  C.  Kuddock,  of  Willow  Slough,  and 
James  Edgar,  of  Cottonwood,  and  a  number  of  others  in 
the  county,  have  a  limited  number  of  trees,  and  we  are  in- 
formed that  many  others  will  engage  in  the  business  the 
coming  year. 

While  Sacramento,  Santa  Clara,  Santa  Barbara,  Los 
Angeles  and  other  counties  have  been  wide  awake  in  the 
introduction  of  this  valuable  industry,  we  believe  Yolo  is 
still  justly  entitled  to  be  set  down  as  the  banner  county  of 
the  State  in  silk  culture. 


YOLO   COUNTY.  109 

It  lias  been  sliown  by  the  experiments  and  operations 
above  cited  that  silk  culture  can  be  yery  profitably  entered 
upon  as  an  eselusiye  business,  yet  we  believe  it  would  be 
found  one  of  tlie  most  valuable  and  remunerative  products 
of  every  farm  carried  on  in  connection  -witli  otlier  indus- 
tries. Its  active  operations  cover  but  a  very  small  portion 
of  time  in  eacli  year,  and  that  time  is  in  the  spring,  when 
other  farming  occupations  in  this  State  require  but  little 
attention.  The  expense  of  making  a  beginning  is  but  a 
mere  trifle  for  trees,  and  every  farmer  can  so  manage  as  to 
use  some  portion  of  his  dwelling  or  some  of  his  out-build- 
ings for  the  short  time  required  each  year.  The  work  of 
feeding  the  worms  being  light  and  mostly  in-doors,  can  be 
done  by  the  women  and  children  of  the  family,  and  thus, 
with  almost  no  increase  of  capital  and  with  no  additional 
expense  for  labor,  every  farmer  in  the  county  might,  by 
engaging  in  the  culture  of  silk,  add  materially  to  his  an- 
nual income  and  increase  the  comforts  of  his  household. 

As  Yolo  County  has  been  the  first  to  successfulh'  intro- 
duce the  business  and  render  it  remunerative,  we  hope  she 
ma}''  be  the  first  to  render  that  business  general  among  her 
agriculturists.  We  are  assured  that  our  grain-growing 
districts  are  well  adapted  to  the  successful  growth  of  the 
trees,  they  being  of  a  hardy  nature,  like  cottonwood,  and 
that  the  leaves  grown  on  trees  in  a  hard,  dry  soil  will  pro- 
duce the  best  quality  of  silk. 

Another  source  of  wealth  which  furnishes  emploj^ment  to 
several  of  our  citizens  is  but  little  understood.  From  the 
meager  data  before  us  we  give  the  following  very  imperfect 
sketch  of  the 

Fisheries  of  Yolo. 

The  principal  fishery  on  the  Sacramento  is  at  the  mouth 
of  Sycamore  Slough,  near  Knight's  Landing.  It  employs 
several  men,  the  average  catch  during  the  summer  and  fall 
being  from  one  to  two  tons  of  fish  per  day.  One  small 
steamer  is  employed  in  transporting  the  catch  to  the  mar- 
kets— Sacramento  and  San  Francisco.     The  principal  fish 


110  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

taken  here  in  the  summer  is  the  perch,  along  with  other 
varieties  of  smaller  fish. 

Aside  from  this  fishery,  we  have  returns  from  thirtj-two 
gill-nets,  two  men  to  the  boat;  average  catch  of  the  season, 
twelve  hundred  dollars  to  the  net;  also  four  pike  fishermen, 
with  twenty  nets.  The  largest  pike  net  on  the  river  is  at 
the  Knight's  Landing  Fishery,  of  which  we  have  spoken. 
During  the  salmon  fishing,  the  fishermen  take  large  quanti- 
ties of  this  fine  fish,  along  with  sturgeon  and  other  varieties 
not  so  valuable.  Bj  the  twenty-fifth  of  June  the  spring- 
run  of  salmon  up  the  river  is  generally  ended,  when  the 
perch  and  othpr  small  fish  take  their  place  in  the  market. 
The  fall  run  begins  in  August  and  lasts  until  November, 
and  sometimes  as  late  as  December.  The  spring  run  is  the 
best — the  fish  being  short,  fat  and  of  a  bright  color.  On 
returning  from  the  spring  run  they  frequently  mix  with 
the  fall  run,  when  they  are  poor  and  of  a  very  rusty  color. 
The  average  weight  of  the  spring  fish  is  about  fifteen 
pounds,  though  they  have  been  caught  weighing  forty 
pounds.  Sturgeon  have  been  taken  in  these  fisheries, 
weighing  more— one  being  recorded  of  four  hundred  and 
ninety-five  pounds  weight.  During  the  spring  run,  it 
sometimes  happens  that  a  sudden  rise  occurs  in  the  river, 
when  the  fish  fall  back  for  a  few  days  until  the  floods  sub- 
side, when  the  run  is  renewed. 

This  season  the  first  shipment  of  salmon  overland  to  the 
East  was  attempted.  There  is  no  doubt  but  that  a  large 
and  profitable  trade  will  grow  out  of  this  experiment.  The 
salmon  of  the  Pacific  coast  far  surpass  those  of  the  Eastern 
fisheries,  both  in  size  and  quality.  Should  the  market  be 
assured  in  that  quarter,  we  may  look  for  a  large  increase  of 
boats  and  men  on  the  river.  Old  fishermen  tell  us  that  the 
stock  has  increased  in  the  inland  waters  very  materially 
during  the  past  few  years.  They  attribute  this  to  the  de- 
crease of  mining,  and  the  consequent  increased  purity  of 
the  waters. 

About  one  hundred  and  fifty  men  are  engaged  in  fishing 
and  hunting,  who  are  residents  of  this  county.  The  annual 
value  of  the  trade  is  estimated  at  eighty  to  one  hundred 


YOLO   COUNTY.  Ill 

tliousanci  dollars.  The  value  of  boats,  nets  and  other 
property  necessary  to  conduct  the  business  is  estimated  at 
forty-five  thousand  dollars. 

Mines  and  Minerals. 

The  mining  interest  is  but  lightly  represented  in  this 
county,  with  one  exception.  But  little  prospecting  for  the 
precious  metals  has  been  attempted,  though  ' '  indications  " 
of  the  existence  of  various  kinds  of  mineral  are  not  want- 
ing in  the  foothills  and  mountain  ranges  that  form  the 
western  boundary  of  the  county.  Gold,  copper,  sulphur, 
lead  and  cinnabar  indications  are  frequently  found,  such 
as  would  justify  extended  prospecting  in  a  country  where 
the  attention  of  the  inhabitants  was  directed  to  mining 
instead  of  agriculture. 

Gold  Mining 

Has  been  carried  on,  to  some  extent,  on  Putah  Creek  and 
in  some  gulches  and  ravines  in  the  foothills  near  Cache 
Creek  Canon.  Absence  of  water,  inexperience  of  mining 
matters,  and  the  all-absorbing  interests  of  agriculture, 
may  be  given  as  sufficient  reasons  why  this  branch  of 
industry  has  received  no  more  attention.  That  gold  exists 
in  the  first  range  of  hills  is  a  fact;  but  whether  in  quanti- 
ties sufficient  to  justify  any  great  outlay  of  capital  in  the 
prospecting  or  working  of  the  ground,  remains  to  be 
decided.  Copper  "signs"  are  plenty  in  the  hills,  and 
occasionally  one  meets  with  indications  of  coal  and  iron. 
The  formation  of  the  ranges,  their  volcanic  origin,  and  the 
undisputed  fact  of  the  existence  of  gold  and  cinnabar, 
would  warrant  a  more  extended  and  thorough  examination 
of  the  county  than  has  ever  been  given  to  it. 


Cinnabar.  ^ 

In   the  extreme  northwestern  portion  of    the  county  is 
located  the  cinnabar  or  quicksilver  mines  of   Charles  F. 


112  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

Reed  &  Co.,  known  as  the  California  Mines.  This  com- 
pany are  pushing  the  work  on  their  mine,  with  every  assur- 
ance of  success.  The  mine  lies  but  a  few  (six)  miles  from 
the  celebrated  Knoxville  and  Manhattan  cinnabar  mines, 
and  is  evidently  a  continuation  of  the  belt  which  traverses 
a  section  of  Lake  and  Yolo  counties.  This  cinnabar- 
bearing  belt  extends  from  Oregon  southward  through  the 
Coast  Range;  how  far  is  not  definitely  ascertained,  but 
either  the  mineral  or  indications  have  been  discovered  at 
intervals  through  the  whole  extent  of  the  Coast  Range  from 
Oregon  to  Mexico. 

In  the  district  where  Reed's  mine  is  located,  very  rich 
deposits  of  cinnabar  have  been  found  and  two  large  mines, 
with  furnaces  and  machinery  attached,  employing  about 
three  hundred  men  and  turning  out  from  four  hundred  to 
one  thousand  flasks  of  quicksilver  per  week  when  the  fur- 
naces are  in  operation.  These  mines  are  located  in  Lake 
County,  the  dividing  line  between  Lake  and  Yolo  passing 
between  these  mines  and  that  owned  by  Reed  &  Co.  The 
surrounding  hills  are  thickly  studded  with  "indications" 
and  "croppings"  which  reveal  the  existence  of  cinnabar- 
bearing  lodes. 

The  California  Mine. 

By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  1864-5  the  boundaries 
of  Yolo  County  were  definitely  determined.  This  location 
included  the  California  and  Occidental  mines  within  the 
limits  of  Yolo  Count3^  In  1856  these  mines'  were  consoli- 
dated under  the  name  of  the  "  California  Mine,"  and  duly 
incorporated,  with  Charles  F.  Reed,  of  Y^'olo  County,  as 
President,  and  Henry  F.  "Williams,  of  San  Francisco,  as 
Secretary.  In  1867  the  mine  was  sold  to  a  company  of 
English  capitalists  for  five  hundred  thousand  dollars,  but, 
through  some  mismanagement  of  the  company's  agents  sent 
to  Europe,  the  sale  was  broken.  The  company  then  deter- 
mined to  f)rosecute  the  work  on  their  own  account,  and 
have  been  steadily  engaged  in  opening  and  developing 
their  mine  since.  They  own  six  hundred  and  forty  acres 
of  rich  agricultural  land  in  Davis  Valley,  well  improved, 


YOLO   COUNTY.  113 

with  good  farm  houses,  barns,  etc.  At  present  they  are 
working  fifteen  men,  under  the  superintendence  of  John  E. 
Regal,  an  experienced  miner.  They  have  out  and  ready 
for  smelting  about  five  hundred  tons  of  fine  ore,  estimated 
to  yield  thirty  per  cent,  of  quicksilver.  They  have  good 
boarding-houses,  blacksmith-shops  and  other  buildings 
necessary  to  the  successful  prosecution  of  the  work.  A 
contract  has  been  made  with  Messrs.  Roach  &  Form,  of 
San  Francisco,  who  are  to  erect  a  large  smelting  furnace, 
to  be  completed  by  the  first  of  October.  It  is  confidently 
expected  that  the  mine  will  be  turning  out  large  quantities 
of  quicksilver  by  that  time  or  immediately  thereafter. 
Several  tunnels  have  been  driven  by  the  company,  in  all  of 
which  the  prospects  are  encouraging.  One  of  these  tun- 
nels has  been  driven,  through  solid  rock,  six  hundred  and 
fifty  feet,  one  over  four  hundred  feet,  and  still  another  two 
hundred  and  fifty  feet.  At  the  time  of  writing  the  suj)erin- 
tendent  informed  us  that  he  had  found  large  quantities  of 
paying  rock  or  ore  in  the  new  cut,  one  hundred  feet  be- 
neath the  surface.  Success  in  this  quarter  will  induce 
capitalists  to  turn  their  attention  to  investments  in  that 
direction,  and  will  have  the  effect  of  introducing  a  class  of 
laborers  in  those  hills  who  will  add  wealth  and  prosperity 
to  a  portion  of  the  country  now  comparatively  non-produc- 
tive and  consequently  valueless.  Such  an  event  would 
w^ork  a  vast  change  in  that  section,  and  materially  enhance 
the  value  of  the  foot-hill  lands,  especially  those  that  are 
well  timbered.  It  would  open  up  a  new  market  for  pro- 
duce and  hasten  the  construction  of  a  railroad  through  that 
section,  and  in  many  other  ways  prove  of  great  benefit  to 
the  county. 

We  now  leave  our  general  description  of  the  county,  for 
the  purpose  of  giving  brief  sketches  of  the  principal  towns 
of  Yolo. 

Woodland, 

The   county  seat,   is  situated  in  Cache  Creek   Township, 
fifteen   miles  west  and   six   and   one-half  miles   north   of 
Sacramento.     By  the  road,  as  now  laid  out,  the  distance  is

rated  at  eighteen  miles  to  Washington.  Tlie  town  lies 
tliree  miles  soutli  of  Cache  Creek,  the  nearest  point  being 
at  Nelson's  bridge.  Where  the  town  now  stands,  and  im- 
mediately surrounding  it,  was  once  a  beautiful  grove  of 
oaks,  from  which  the  town  derives  its  name.  A  few  of  the 
trees  are  still  standing,  but  by  far  the  larger  portion  have 
fallen  before  the  army  of  occupation,  the  advance  guard  of 
which  seems  to  be  wood-choppers.  This  grove,  which  was 
the  most  prominent  feature  of  the  place  and  its  chief  beauty 
in  its  younger  days,  has  given  place  to  dwellings,  stores 
and  other  belongings  of  a  thriving  town;  yet  enough  re- 
mains to  enable  the  town  to  hold  her  name  rightfully,  with- 
out subjecting  herself  to  the  charge  of  having  appropriated 
a  name  that  did  not  correspond  with  the  surroundings. 
The  ground  on  which  the  town  is  located  is  slightly  ele- 
vated above  the  surrounding  plains,  it  being  the  end  of  a 
gravelly  ridge,  or  rather  elevation,  traceable  for  several 
miles.  The  belt  of  timber  in  which  the  town  was  estab- 
lished extends  northward  and  westward  to  Cache  Creek, 
and  eastward  and  southeastward  for  some  distance  beyond 
the  town. 

In  1855  Henry  Wyckoff  established  a  store,  the  place 
being  then  known  as  "Yolo  City."  This  store  was  pur- 
chased in  1857  by  F.  S.  Freeman.  Hyman  &  Brothers 
established  the  next  store,  building  what  is  now  known  as 
the  Woodland  House.  In  1861  F.  S.  Freeman  built  the 
first  brick  building.  The  land  on  which  the  north  part  of 
the  town  stands  was  patented  by  F.  S.  Freeman  in  1862. 
The  southern  portion  of  the  town  stands  on  land  patented 
by  T.  M.  Harris,  in  June,  1863.  Such  is  a  brief  outline 
of  the  early  history  of  the  town,  given  to  illustrate  the 
rapid  growth  and  improvement  of  the  place. 

A  short  time  since,  an  eflbrt  was  made  to  incorporate  the 
town,  giving  it  a  boundary  one  mile  square.  From  causes 
unnecessary  to  mention,  the  scheme  failed,  and  Woodland 
remains  unprotected  by  city  laws,  unburthencd  by  city 
taxes.  We  do  not  propose  to  question  the  wisdom  of  the 
attempt  at  incorporation,  or  the  more  successful  effort 
which  resulted  in  the  defeat  of  the  measure ;  but  we  may 


YOLO  COUNTY.  115 

be  permitted  to  express  tlie  opinion  that  but  a  few  addi- 
tional years  of  prosperity  will  elapse  before  Woodland  will 
be  found  among  tlie  list  of  incorporated  towns. 


Public  Buildings. 

The  county  buildings — Court-house  and  jail  combined — 
are  situated  in  the  north  portion  of  the  town.  The  structure 
is  of  brick,  two  stories  high — 76x60  feet.  The  jail  contains 
eight  cells,  constructed  of  wood  and  lined  with  sheet-iron. 
The  bviilding  is  now  undergoing  repairs,  a  contract  having 
been  entered  into  between  the  Board  of  Supervisors  and 
Turton  &  Knox,  of  Sacramento  City,  the  latter  undertaking 
to  raise  the  building  eight  and  one-half  feet  and  put  under 
it  a  new  foundation,  the  present  one  proving  inadequate 
for  the  purpose  designed.  Since  the  above  was  written 
the  work  has  been  successfully  completed.  The  building 
is  commodious,  provided  with  fire-proof  vaults  and  safes  for 
the  various  ofiices.  The  offices  of  the  Treasurer,  District 
Attorney,  Sheriff  and  the  jail  are  on  the  first  floor.  On  the 
second  floor  is  the  Court  room.  Supervisors'  room,  Grand 
Jury  room,  County  Clerk's  room  and  ofiice.  The  yard  or 
square  on  which  the  building  is  situated,  is  tastefully  laid 
out  with  walks  and  planted  with  shrubbery,  or  rather  a  por- 
tion of  it,  and  the  whole  has  been  sown  in  alfalfa,  which 
thrives  well,  and  adds  much  to  the  beauty  of  the  place.  A 
well  one  hundred  and  thirty  feet  deep  furnishes  a  plentiful 
supply  of  good  water,  supposed  to  be  the  best  in  the  town. 

Hesperian  College. 

This  institution,  located  at  Woodland,  was  erected  in  the 
fall  of  1860  and  the  winter  of  1861. 

The  school  was  opened  March  4th,  1861 — the  day  of  Presi- 
dent Lincoln's  first  inauguration.  O.  L.  Mllthews,  a  gradu- 
ate of  Bethany  College,  Virginia,  presided  over  the  young 
institution  until  December,  1861 ;  Henry  Atkinson,  a  gradu- 
ate of  Howard  University,  assuming  control  of  the  school 
the  following  term,  January,  1862. 


116  THE  WESTEKN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

In  August  following,  J.  W.  Anderson,  of  Washington 
College,  Pennsylvania,  was  elected  to  watch  over  the  rising 
fortunes  of  a  school  that  bid  fair  to  attain  to  eminence  among 
the  schools  and  colleges  of  California. 

In  September,  1863,  J.  M.  Martin,  a  graduate  of  Abing- 
don College,  Illinois,  was  called  to  take  charge  of  the  in- 
stitution. From  that  time  till  the  present  he  has  presided 
over  its  destinies. 

Though  laboring  under  many  difficulties  and  embarrass- 
ments, it  gradually  increased  in  members,  influence  and 
popularity,  until  the  opening  of  the  session,  August,  1867, 
when  with  almost  unprecedented  rapidity  it  rose  to  the  first 
rank  among  the  schools  of  the  Pacific  Slope.  The  cata- 
logues of  the  institution  for  1867-8-9  show  an  average  at- 
tendance of  more  than  two  hundred  students  per  annum. 

On  the  fifth  day  of  May,  1869,  the  institution  was  duly 
incorporated  in  accordance  with  the  statutes  of  California 
in  such  case  made  and  provided. 

On  the  twenty-third  of  August,  1869,  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees named  in  the  certificate  of  incorporation  met,  organi- 
zed and  proceeded  to  elect  a  Faculty,  and  to  establish  rules 
and  regulations  for  the  good  government  of  the  school. 

The  present  Faculty  is  as  follows:  J.  M.  Martin,  Presi- 
dent and  Professor  of  Ancient  Languages  and  Elocution;  J. 
L.  Simpson,  Professor  of  Mathematics;  G.  N.  Freman,  Prin- 
cipal of  Preparatory  Department;  Mrs.  C.  L.  Cross,  Prin- 
cipal of  Primary  Department;  Miss  Florence  G.  Johnston, 
Teacher  of  Vocal  and  Instrumental  Music;  Mrs.  J.  E.  Dick- 
son, Teacher  of  Painting,  Drawing,  etc.;  P.  A.  Espina, 
Teacher  of  Spencerian  Penmanship ;  G.  N.  Freman,  Secre- 
tary of  the  Faculty.  Hesperian  College  admits  both  sexes, 
and  stands  a  striking  example  of  the  superiority  of  such 
schools  when  conducted  upon  a  rational  basis.  ' '  A  thorough, 
practical  education — physical,  intellectual  and  moral,'"  is  the 
motto  of  the  Ii#titution. 


Public   School-house. 
This  is  a  two-story  frame  building,  situated  in  the  extreme 


YOLO   COUNTY.  117 

eastern  part  of  town,  in  the  midst  of  a  beautiful  grove  of 
oaks.  It  is  not  worthy,  as  a  public  building,  of  any  extend- 
ed notice. 

Churches. 

There  are  three  brick  churches  in  the  town — the  Christian 
or  Campbellite,  the  M.  E.  Church  and  the  Catholic.  They 
are  each  good,  substantial  brick  buildings,  the  Catholic 
Church  being  by  far  su23erior  to  the  others  in  architectural 
beauty  and  design. 

Theater. 

Washington  Hall,  on  Main  Street,  two  stories  high  and 
one  hundred  feet  long  by  sixty  feet  wide,  was  erected  for 
public  purposes  by  Adam  Gerlach,  at  an  expense  of  fifteen 
thousand  dollars.  The  upper  story  is  in  one  room,  and  fit- 
ted with  a  stage  and  stage  scenery  complete.  It  was  opened 
by  L.  F.  Beatty,  with  a  theatrical  troupe,  who  leased  it  for 
a  season.  His  term  having  expired,  Mr.  Gerlach  resumed 
the  control  of  the  hall,  which  is  now  at  the  service  of  the 
public. 

Hotels. 

The  hotels  in  Woodland,  two  in  number,  are  fine  brick 
buildings,  two  and  three  stories  high  respectively.  Among 
the 

Other  Buildings 

Worthy  of  note  are  the  bank  building,  the  fine  brick — 
three  stories  high — adjoining  the  bank,  built  by  Messrs. 
Brown,  Sill  &  Craft,  and  Elliott's  carriage-shop,  a  fine  two- 
story  brick.  Among  the  private  residences  that  of  F.  S. 
Freeman  takes  the  first  place.  The  contract  price  for  this 
building  was  sixteen  thousand  dollars.  There  are  many 
tasty  dwelling-houses  in  Woodland,  of  both  brick  and 
wood,  but  the  predominating  material  used  in  construc- 
tion is  brick,  both  in  stores  and  dwellings. 

G-eneral  Description. 
The  town   contains  twenty   stores,   classed  as  follows  : 


118  THE  WESTERN  SHOEE  GAZETTEER. 

One  hardware,  one  millinery  store ;  dry  goods,  tliree  ;  dry 
goods  and  groceries,  two ;  groceries,  tliree ;  produce  and 
groceries,  two ;  produce  and  fruit,  one ;  jewelry  and  drugs 
and  stationery  combined,  one  ;  jewelry,  one  ;  clothing  and 
drugs,  one ;  tinware  and  stoves,  two ;  variety  stores,  two. 
There  are  four  barber's  shops,  one  bath-house,  two  saddle 
and  harness  shops,  three  shoemaker's  shops,  one  dress- 
making establishment,  three  restaurants,  one  flour-mill,  two 
large  carpenter's  shops,  one  large  carriage  manufactory, 
seven  blacksmith's  shops,  one  sash  and  door  manufactory, 
one  ice  cream  saloon,  three  livery  stables,  and  eighteen 
saloons  and  places  where  liquors  are  sold  by  the  drink. 
This  list  comprises  the  most  of  the  business  of  the  town. 
The  trade,  value  of  exports  and  imports  are  included  in  the 
county  returns. 

The  population  of  the  town  proper,  or  village,  is  sixteen 
hundred.  Including  the  suburbs,  or  voting  precinct,  it  is 
about  twenty-two  hundred. 

Meat  Markets. 

The  value  of  the  animals  slaughtered  for  home  consump- 
tion in  Yolo  can  hardly  be  accurately  determined.  We 
take  the  following  statistics  from  the  books  of  James  Ash- 
bury,  the  leading  butcher  of  the  county.  At  his  two 
markets,  in  Woodland,  the  sales  foot  up  as  follows,  for  the 
year  ending  September  first  :  Number  of  pounds  of  veal 
slaughtered,  nine  thousand  six  hundred ;  jjoi'k,  twenty- 
three  thousand ;  mutton,  sixty-six  thousand ;  beef,  five 
hundred  thousand  nine  hundred.  Total  pounds  of  meat, 
five  hundred  and  ninety-nine  thousand  five  hundred  pounds, 
worth  at  an  average  thirteen  cents  per  pound,  or  seventy- 
seven  thousand  nine  hundred  and  ninety-five  dollars.  Sup- 
posing the  remaining  shops  in  the  county  do  a  business  ex- 
ceeding this  by  one-half,  a\  hich  is  a  fair  estimate,  avo  then 
have  one  million  four  hundred  and  ninety-eight  thousand 
seven  hundred  and  fifty  pounds  of  meat  annually  sold  from 
the  marlcets,  valued  at  one  hundred  and  ninety -four  thou- 
sand eight  hundred  and  thirty-seven  dollars  and  fifty  cents. 


YOLO  COUNTY.  119 

Tlie  other  markets  of  note  are  Korn's,  at  Woodland ; 
Gwinn's,  at  Kniglit's  Landing;  Marden's,  at  Davisville; 
Hines',  at  Caclieyille,  and  one  at  Buckley's.  At  Ashbmy's 
five  men  are  employed,  averaging  a  pay-roll  of  seven  thou- 
sand five  hundred  dollars.  By  the  same  average  we  have 
twelve  men  with  a  pay-roll  of  eleven  thousand  two  hundred 
and  fifty  dollars. 

•    Bank  of  "Woodland. 

This  institution  was  organized  in  1868  and  incorporated 
on  the  twenty-first  of  November  of  that  year,  with  a  paid 
up  capital  stock  of  two  hundred  thousand  dollars,  to  be 
increased  to  five  hundred  thousand  dollars  at  the  option 
of  the  incorporators.  The  officers  at  present  are  the 
same  as  at  its  organization,  and  are  as  follows  :  Presi- 
dent, J.  D.  Stephens;  Cashier,  C.  W.  Bush;  Vice- 
President,  P.  S.  Freeman.  The  Directors  are  J.  D. 
Stephens,  P.  S.  Preeman,  C.  Nelson,  J.  HoUingsworth, 
L.  D.  Stephens,  J.  Wilcoxon,  N.  Hastings,  P.  Miller  and 
C.  W.  Bonynger.  Since  its  organization  three  dividends 
have  been  declared,  averaging  each  one  per  cent,  on  the 
paid  up  capital.  With  the  organization  of  this  institution 
new  facilities  were  afi^orded  business  men,  and  a  corre- 
sponding improvement  in  financial  matters  was  the  result. 

Knight's  Landing. 

This  town  is  situated  on  the  Sacramento  Eiver,  eight  and 
one-half  miles  north  and  three  and  one-half  miles  east  of 
Woodland.  By  the  railroad  the  distance  is  eight  miles; 
by  the  public  roads,  as  generally  traveled,  about  twelve. 
It  is  on  th5  line  of  the  California  Pacific  Eailroad,  thereby 
connected  with  Marysville,  Woodland  and  the  seaboard. 
It  has  a  large  trade,  via  the  Sacramento  Eiver,  with  Sacra- 
mento and  San  Prancisco.  It  contains  one  church,  a 
school-house,  one  hotel,  one  lodging-house,  one  flour-mill, 
one  very  large  wagon-  and  blacksmith-shop,  besides  some 
of  lesser  note;  three  large  warehouses,  one  large  carpenter- 
shop,  two  bakeries,  six  saloons,  one  very  large  dry-goods 


120  THE  WESTEEN  SHOKE  GAZETTEER. 

store,  several  grocery-stores,  and  several  other  places  of 
trade,  too  numerous  to  mention. 

The  principal  portion  of  the  .toAva  lies  on  Front  Street, 
fronting  the  river.  The  buildings  are  principally  of  wood, 
of  one  story,  or  cottage  houses.  The  population  is  about 
one  thousand.  In  1850  "Billy"  McDaniel  first  laid  out 
the  Town  of  Knight's  Landing;  but  nothing  seems  to  have 
been  done  toward  building  the  town  until  1853,  when 
Charles  F.  Pieed  re-surveyed  it  and  laid  out  the  streets  as 
they  are  now  located.  There  are  many  old  settlers  in  that 
community  who  recollect  when  Knight's  Landing  was  bar- 
ren of  aught  but  brush  and  undergrowth. 

When  J.  W.  Snowball  arrived  he  found  one  log  house  on 
the  mound.  He  erected  the  first  store  at  that  place.  The 
name  of  "Knight's  Landing "  was  given  by  the  settlers  in 
honor  of  the  owner  of  the  grant  located  there — a  name  it 
has  since  retained. 

It  seems  a  little  strange — hard  to  recognize  as  facts — that 
the  pleasant  town  of  Knight's  Landing,  with  its  bustling 
activity,  as  well  as  the  surrounding  country,  was  an  unset- 
tled wilderness  but  twenty  years  ago.  Yet  such  is  the  case, 
and  that  wilderness  was  rather  thickly  inhabited  by  wild 
and  savage  beasts,  according  to  the  reports  of  the  early 
settlers.  Mr.  A.  W.  Morriss,  who  settled  at  Knight's  Land- 
ing in  1852,  relates  that  the  place  was  then  entirely  unim- 
proved, and  wild  animals  were  plenty.  A  few  cloth  tents 
were  the  only  dwellings,  except  the  log  house  on  the 
mound.  The  only  inclosnre  for  stock  was  a  corral.  Hear- 
ing a  disturbance  in  the  corral  one  night,  he  went  out  to 
discover  the  cause,  and  found  a  grizzly  making  himself 
familiar  with  the  animals  inclosed.  In  1853  two  grizzlies 
made  a  reconnoisance  on  the  forces  of  J.  J.  Cook,  who 
was  engaged  in  ditch-digging  near  the  site  of  the  present 
town.  They  walked  out  from  an  adjoining  thicket,  making 
directly  for  Mr.  Cook,  who,  knowing  it  was  useless  to  run, 
stood  his  ground  bravely,  and  with  uplifted  shovel  awaited 
the  assault.  Fortune  generally  favors  the  brave,  and  in 
this  case  she  adhered  to  the  rule;  for,  after  a  short  ob- 
servation of  Mr.  Cook  and  his  defenses,  the  bears  retired

n  good  order,  leaving  him  master  of  tlie  situation.  For 
several  years,  bear,  elk,  deer  and  antelope  were  abundant, 
rbe  log  bouse  on  tbe  mound— ^tbe  old  landmark,  tbe  first 
iwelling  in  tbat  part  of  tbe  county — was  burned  in  1853. 
We  believe  it  was  built  in  1849.  Pity  it  bad  not  been 
spared,  for  but  few  of  the  old  landmarks  and  records  of 
49  are  left. 

Building  in  those  days  was  rather  expensive,  judging  by 
some  old  bills  and  records.  Mr.  J.  Friel,  who,  by  the  way, 
says  there  were  not  three  women  within  a  square  of  ten 
niles  when  he  settled  near  Knight's  Landing  (1853),  built 
lis  first  house  of  "shakes"  split  from  the  surrounding 
Daks.  The  nails  for  this  building  cost  thirty  cents  per 
aound,  the  flooring  boards  one  hundred  and  twenty-five 
iollars  per  thousand  feet.  Flour  was  fifty  dollars  per  bar- 
rel, and  other  things  in  proportion.  We  might  multiply 
incidents  of  like  nature,  but  they  are  familiar  to  all  old 
daiifornians.  Among  the  early  settlers  of  Knight's  Land- 
ing and  vicinity  was  Mr.  Harrison  Gwinn,  afterwards 
bounty  Judge  of  Yolo  and  member  of  the  Legislature. 
Ee  settled  on  the  farm  he  now  occupies  in  1850,  and  has 
remained  there  since.  To  Mrs.  Gwinn  belongs  the  honor 
Df  being  the  first  American  lady  who  settled  in  that  vicin- 
ity. Thomas  Coleman,  who  landed  at  Fremont  in  1849, 
same  to  Knight's  Landing  in  1850,  when  Mrs.  William 
Knight  occupied  the  "log  house  on  the  mound."  In  1851 
Mr.  Coleman  was  attacked  by  a  grizzly,  and  was  obliged  to 
seek  safety  by  climbing  a  tree.  D.  W.  Edson  settled  at 
the  Landing  in  1850;  J.  Dinwiddle  the  same  year  ;  C.  O. 
Copp  in  1852.  John  Burns  and  several  others,  who  are 
still  living  in  the  county,  settled  there  in  1853.  About  this 
period  the  scattering  farmers  began  to  haul  their  produce 
to  this  place  for  transportation,  and  the  name  of  ' '  Knight's 
Landing"  became  permanently  established  and  was  the 
only  name  by  which  the  place  was  known.  There  have 
been  some  attempts  to  call  the  town  after  the  name  of  its 
post-office,  Grafton,  but  there  is  little  probability  of  the 
old  name  ever  being  superseded. 

During  the  summer  and  fall  months  the  streets  of  the

town  present  a  livelj  appearance.  Long  lines  of  freight 
wagons,  loaded  with  grain,  impart  a  business  appearance 
that  gives  ample  evidence  -of  the  wealth  of  the  country 
adjoining.  The  flour  and  grain  trade  via  the  river  is  exten- 
sive, communication  with  the  sea]3orts  .being  cheap  and 
reliable  at  all  seasons  of  the  year. 

The  town  possesses  an  excellent  landing  and  extensive 
wharves,  the  only  ones  in  the  county.  Charles  F,  Eeed 
and  Laugenour  &  Brownell  have  each  extensive  wharves 
and  fine  warehouses,  capable  of  storing  an  immense  quan- 
tity of  grain.  They  are  heavy  grain  purchasers  for  the 
San  Francisco  market,  and  their  Avharves  receive  the  bulk 
of  the  grain  raised  in  that  section. 

In  point  of  trade.  Knight's  Landing  is  the  third  toAvn  in 
the  county,  as  well  as  in  population.  It  is  a  permanent, 
steadily-growing  place,  and  bids  far  to  become  an  impor- 
tant river  toAvn.  Connected  as  it  is  with  the  interior  by 
rail,  the  seaboard  by  rail-  and  water-carriage,  it  possesses 
advantages  of  commerce  superior  to  those  of  any  other 
town  in  the  county.  With  the  well-known  energy  of  its 
citizens  directed  in  the  proper  channels,  and  supported  by 
an  extensive  grain-growing  district,  the  town  must  rapidly 
assume  its  true  position  and  become  a  leading  commercial 
place. 

Washington. 

"Washington  is  situated  on  the  Sacramento  Kiver,  imme- 
diately opposite  Sacramento  City,  and  connected  therewith 
by  the  railroad  bridge. 

The  town  contains  about  five  hundred  inhabitants;  is  reg- 
ularly laid  out,  and  contains  two  hotels,  four  saloons,  two 
stores,  one  feed-stable  and  blacksmith-shop,  one  laundry, 
one  saw-mill,  one  rectifying  apj)aratus  and  public  water- 
works. 

The  proximity  of  the  town  to  Sacramento,  which  should 
prove  of  great  advantage  to  it,  seems  to  produce  an  oppo- 
site effect,  but  little  improvement  being  visible.  Owing  to 
a  short-sighted  policy,  the  trafiic  between  the  two  places  is 
seriously  impeded  by  the  toll-bridge,  which  levies  a  tax  on 


YOLO   COUNTY.  123 

every  foot  passenger  tliat  crosses.  Owing  to  this,  many  who 
are  doing  business  in  Sacramento  City  are  deterred  from 
residing  in  Washington,  where  lands  and  rents  are  much 
cheaper. 

Were  this  restriction  removed,  or  a  free  bridge  con- 
structed, Washington  would  improve  rapidly,  property 
would  be  enhanced  in  value,  while  Sacramento  would  reap 
a  corresponding  benefit  in  the  increase  of  travel  and  trade 
from  this  county,  which  now  seeks  other  parts,  accessible 
only  by  rail,  where  such  restrictions  are  removed. 

Washington,  by  situation  and  by  virtue  of  the  advantages 
named,  should  become  the  place  of  residence  of  many  busi- 
ness men  whose  business  lies  in  Sacramento  City.  It  should 
become  to  Sacramento  what  Oakland  is  to  San  Francisco, 
Brooklyn  to  New  York,  and,  with  liberal  provision  made 
for  transit  between  the  two  places,  the  desired  result  would 
be  soon  secured. 

The  orchards  in  Washington  are  among  the  finest  in  the 
county,  and  add  a  peculiar  beauty  to  the  place.  It  is  in 
reality  the  garden  of  the  county,  and  susceptible  of  being 
rendered  one  of  the  richest  portions  of  the  State. 

The  Steam  Navigation  Company  have  extensive  works 
located  on  the  river  front,  near  the  bridge,  consisting  of 
carpenter-shops  and  blacksmith-shops,  located  convenient 
to  the  ways  whereon  their  vessels  are  repaired.  The  spare 
steamers  belonging  to  the  Company  are  moored  in  front  of 
the  town  and  assessed  in  Yolo  County.  Many  mechanics 
are  constantly  employed  by  this  Company,  who  make  the 
town  their  residence,  adding  materially  to  its  prosperity. 

The  growth  and  improvements  of  Washington  have  not 
been  in  a  corresponding  ratio  with  some  other  towns  in  the 
county,  and  though  one  of  the  oldest,  it  falls  far  behind  its 
sister  towns  of  younger  growth.  The  railroad,  instead  of 
being  an  advantage  to  the  town  and  a  cause  of  prosperity, 
has  proved  the  reverse,  as  the  business  formerly  transacted 
there  in  the  way  of  freight  and  travel  is  now  mostly  trans- 
ferred to  Sacramento.

Cache  ville. 

Tlie  Town  of  Cacheville  is  situated  on  Caclie  Creek,  four 
miles  north  by  one  mile  west  from  Woodland.  It  contains 
tliree  stores,  one  hotel,  one  saddle-  and  harness-shop,  two 
blacksmith-  and  wagon-shops,  one  school-house,  one  church, 
one  flour-mill,  one  tin-shop  and  two  saloons,  with  a  popula- 
tion of  about  five  hundi'ed. 

It  is  surrounded  by  a  rich  agricultural  countiy  and  pos- 
sesses a  large  mercantile  trade. 

There  has  not  been  much  activity  manifested  in  building, 
there  being  no  leading  cause  to  stimulate  a  rapid  growth. 
The  closely-settled  surrounding  country,  with  the  many 
wealthy  farmers  residing  near  by,  gives  a  permanency  to  the 
place  which  will  insure  a  steady  growth,  though  not  rapid. 

Having  neither  rail  nor  water  connection  with  the  other 
towns,  the  grain  market  is  confined  to  the  milling  trade, 
which  of  necessity  transfers  a  heavy  trade  to  Woodland  and 
Knight's  Landing  which  would  be  retained  under  more  favor- 
able circumstances.  The  proposed  railroad  from  Woodland 
to  Colusa,  if  completed,  would  afford  those  facilities  to 
Cacheville,  as  then  the  town  would  become  the  center  of 
one  of  the  finest  grain-growing  districts  in  the  county — the 
shipping  and  receiving  point — thus  securing  the  trade  which 
now  passes  through  or  by  the  town  for  other  places,  where 
the  facilities  of  transportation  are  greater.  This  would  in- 
sure a  rapid  growth,  and  the  town  would  assume  the  position 
which  naturally  belongs  to  it.  The  Post-ofilce  at  Cacheville 
is  Yolo. 

Fremont. 

This  town  was,  but  is  not.  A  glance  at  the  history  will 
enable  the  reader  to  learn  of  its  past — a  glance  at  the  one 
house  comprising  the  town  will  tell  of  its  present.  Its  site 
is  located  on  the  Sacramento  Kiver,  about  nine  miles  north- 
east from  Woodland,  opposite  to  where  the  Feather  Kiver 
unites  with  the  Sacramento.  The  country  immediately  sur- 
rounding Fremont  partakes  of  the  general  character  of  the 
river  lands — a  narrow  belt  of  grain  or  garden  land  fronting 


YOLO   COUNTY.  125 

on  the  river,  and  sloping  to  the  tule  swamps  in  the  rear. 
We  would  there  was  more  to  say  of  Fremont,  but  unless  we 
write  a  homily  on  the  changes  presented,  or  a  regret  for  the 
good  old  times,  we  must  close  this  paragraph.  The  Post- 
office  at  Fremont  is  Charleston. 


Langville 

Is  situated  at  the  mouth  of  IDapay  Yalley,  twenty  miles 
northwest  from  Woodland,  on  the  road  leading  to  Clear 
Lake.  The  town  consists  of  Lang's  Hotel,  one  saloon,  one 
saddler's  shop  and  one  blacksmith's  shop.  Population, 
various. 

Capay  City- 
Is  situated  in  Capay  Yalley,  four  miles  from  Langville  and 
twentj'-four  miles  northwest  from  Woodland.  It  contains 
one  store,  one  hotel,  one  blacksmith's  shop  and  one  saloon. 
It  is  surrounded  by  a  fine  grain  country.  Capay  Post- 
office  is  located  at  this  place. 

Cottonwood. 

This  town  is  located  in  the  midst  of  a  fine  grain-growing 
locality,  twelve  miles  west  from  Woodland.  It  contains 
two  stores,  one  blacksmith's  shop,  one  wagon-maker's  shop, 
one  harness  and  saddler's  shop,  one  hotel,  one  shoe  shop, 
one  saloon  and  one  church.  Lately  the  town  has  shown 
signs  of  increasing  vitality  by  the  erection  of  some  new  and 
substantial  dwellings.  The  Post-office  for  Cottonwood  is 
Cache  Creek. 

Buckeye 

Is  situated  fifteen  miles  southwest  from  Woodland,  in  the 
center  of  a  fine  grain-growing  locality.  It  contains  two 
stores,  one  hotel,  one  saloon,  one  blacksmith's  shop,  one 
shoemaker's  shop,  one  boarding-house  and  a  Masonic  Hall. 
One  of  the  finest  dwelling-houses  in  the  county — that  of 
Mr.  B.  Ely — is  situated  in  the  town.     With  this  exception 


12G  THE   WESTERN  SHORE   GAZETTEER. 

there  are  no  buildings  of  note,  unless  we  mention  tlie  dwell- 
ing of  Mr.  E.  C.  Biggs,  whose  farm  adjoins  that  belonging 
to  Mr.  Ely.  The  Post-office  has  the  same  name  as  the 
town. 

Davisville 

Is  located  on  the  north  side  of  Putah  Creek,  ten  miles 
south  and  one  mile  east  of  Woodland.  By  the  wagon-road 
generally  traveled  the  distance  from  Woodland  to  Davis- 
ville has  usually  been  called  twelve  miles,  the  latter  figure 
having  been  used  by  us  in  locating  farms  lying  between 
Davisville  and  Woodland.  The  town  is  located  on  the  old 
Jerome  Davis  farm,  where  the  Sacramento  branch  of  the 
California  Pacific  Piailroad  diverges  from  the  main  track. 
It  is  thirteen  miles  west  and  three  and  one-half  miles  south 
of  Sacramento.  The  town  is  regularly  laid  out  and  contains 
about  five  hundred  inhabitants.  Olive  street,  the  main 
street  of  the  city,  is  very  closely  built,  the  buildings  being 
of  wood,  mostly  of  one  story.  The  town  contains  two  large 
lumber-yards,  two  wagon  and  blacksmith's  shops,  several 
stores  and  saloons,  three  hotels,  one  restaurant,  one  livery 
stable,  two  saddle  and  harness  shops  and  several  minor 
places  of  trade.  A  frame  church  is  in  course  of  construc- 
tion and  will  be  completed  this  season. 

Owing  to  its  central  location,  Davisville  possesses  a  large 
trade,  especially  in  grain,  from  twenty  to  thirty  thousand 
tons  being  annually  shipped  by  rail  from  this  point.  The 
railroad  buildings  at  Davisville  are  superior  to  any  belong- 
ing to  the  Company  in  the  county,  and  these  are  no  larger 
than  is  necessary  for  the  trade  of  the  place.  The  town  has 
improved  during  the  last  year,  and  will  doubtless  continue 
to  advance  in  prosjierity.  It  is  surrounded  by  an  excellent 
country,  thickly  settled  with  wealthy  farmers.  It  possesses 
the  trade  of  a  large  section  lying  in  this  and  Solano  County, 
and  in  this  lies  the  elements  of  its  future  growth.  As  the 
country  adjoining  becomes  more  improved  and  more  thickly 
settled,  the  town  will  feel  the  influence  and  meet  with  a 
corresponding  enlargement.  The  celebrated  cocoonery  and 
mulberry  orchard  is  located  on  the  banks  of  Putah  Creek, 
immediately  adjoining  the  town.

Orders. 


The  Masons,  Odd  Fellows,  Druids  and  Good  Templars  are 
represented  by  one  or  mol'e  Lodges  in  the  county,  each  of 
which  is  said  to  be  in  a  flourishing  condition.  Our 
information  regarding  these  Orders  was  furnished  by  the 
officers  of  the  various  organizations,  and  may  be  considered 
correct. 

We  are  indebted  to  W.  W.  Stone  for  the  following  re- 
garding the 

U.  A.  O.  D. 

On  the  thirtieth  of  July,  1870,  Dodoma  Grove,  No.  18, 
United  Ancient  Order  of  Druids,  was  instituted  in  Wood- 
land. Some  two  weeks  previous  to  the  organization,  W.  W. 
Stone  (Principal  ot  the  Woodland  School)  received  the 
necessary  instructions  and  encouragement,  and  by  his  en- 
ergy succeeded  in  inducing  thirty-four  others  to  join  in  as 
charter  members,  who  were  duly  initiated  in  the  secret 
service  of  the  Order  on  the  date  aforesaid.  Since  the  in- 
stallation a  number  of  our  most  prominent  citizens  have 
joined  the  Order,  which  now  numbers  fifty-eight,  and  a 
further  large  increase  of  our  best  citizens  may  be  confi- 
dently expected.  There  is  a  fair  prospect  of  the  Grove 
numbering  one  hundred  members  before  it  shall  have  been 
two  months  in  operation. 

The  principles  of  the  Order  are  said  to  be  synonymous 
with  those  of  the  Odd  Fellows  and  Free  Masons,  with  an 
equal  if  not  greater  disposition  to  cause  the  influence  of  a 
society  of  public-spirited  men  to  be  felt  beneficially  in  the 
moral  and  intellectual  status  of  the  community  in  which 
they  reside. 

The  erection  or  purchase  of  a  building  suitable  for  a  hall 
is  now  under  consideration  by  the  Grove,  which  meets 
temporarily  in  the  College  building.  The  creation  of  a 
library  and  reading-room  for  the  benefit  of  the  members 
and  the  public  generally  is  also  under  consideration,  and 
will  doubtless  soon  be  an  accomplished  fact.  The  present 
officers  of  the  Grove  are  as  follows:   W.  W.  Stone,  Noble

Arch;  "W.  A.  Henry,  Vice-Arch;  H.  J.  Plomteaux,  Eecord- 
iug  Secretary;  Abram  Moger,  Financial  Secretary;  A.  C. 
Kean,  Treasurer;  G.  Hafky,  Inside  Guard.  Time  of  hold- 
ing meetings,  Monday  evenings. 

We  are  indebted  to  T.  C.  Pockman  for  the  following 
regarding  the  Order  of 

Free  and  Accepted  Masons. 

The  first  Masonic  Lodge  in  this  county  was  established 
at  Cacheville,  June,  1854,  by  W.  M.,  Parson  Gray.  The 
charter  members  were:  C.  Traver,  N.  Wycoff,  J.  D.  Ste- 
phens, G.  L.  Brown  and  J.  T.  Boon. 

The  number  of  Lodges  in  the  county  is  four,  located  at 
Cacheyille,  Woodland,  Knight's  Landing  and  Buckeye. 
I^ames  of  the  Lodges  and  the  nights  of  holding  meetings 
are  as  follows : 

Yolo  Lodge,  No.  81,  Cacheville,  A.  Griffiths,  Master, 
meets  Saturday  on  or  before  the  full  moon.  This  Lodge 
has  about  fifty  members. 

Grafton  Lodge,  No.  141,  Knight's  Landing,  E.  L.  Parre- 
more,  Master,  meets  on  Saturday  on  or  after  the  full  moon. 
This  Lodge  has  a  membership  of  about  forty. 

Woodland  Lodge,  No.  156,  T.  C.  Pockman,  Master,  meets 
on  Friday  on  or  before  the  full  moon.  This  Lodge  has  a 
membership  of  sixty -two. 

Buckeye  Lodge,  No.  198,  M.  K.  York,  Master,  meets  on 
Saturday  on  or  before  the  full  moon.  This  Lodge  has 
about  thirty  members. 

In  Woodland  the  Order  have  a  fine  brick  hall  in  the 
Mason's  Block,  on  Main  Street.  The  Order  is  in  a  very 
flourishing  condition;  but  not  being  informed,  we  can  give 
no  fui'ther  details  regarding  it. 

I.  O.  O.  F. 

We  are  indebted  to  H.  C.  Grover,  Recording  Secretary 
of  Woodland  Lodge,  Independent  Order  of  Odd  Fellows, 
for  the  following  record  of  the  Order  in  this  county : 


YOLO   COUNTY.  129 

Woodland  Lodge,  No.  Ill,  was  organized  on  the  seven- 
teenth day  of  January,  1863,  by  R.  W.  Grand  Warden 
David  Kendall,  assisted  by  John  B.  Harmon  and  other 
brothers  of  the  Order  from  Sacramento  City.  The  charter 
members  were:  Elias  Peterson,  G.  J.  Overshiner,  Manville 
Barber,  J.  Wiley  and  A.  Armstrong,  who  constituted  the 
officers  for  the  first  term — E,  Peterson,  N.  G. ;  G.  J.  Over- 
shiner, V.  G. ;  Manville  Barber,  E.  S. ;  A.  Armstrong,  T. 
Six  persons  joined  as  Ancient  Odd  Fellows,  making,  in  all, 
eleven  members.  •  For  some  time  the  young  Lodge  held  its 
meetings  in  an  old  school-house  in  the  eastern  part  of 
town,  from  which  they  removed  to  the  College  building, 
where  the  Lodge  now  holds  its  meetings.  For  two  years 
the  Lodge  struggled  on,  meeting  but  little  encouragement 
in  the  way  of  adding  to  the  membership,  besides  being 
heavily  burthened  with  debt.  About  the  first  of  April, 
1865,  one  of  their  most  prominent  members  met  with  an 
accident  which  left  him  a  cripple  for  life.  This  deplorable 
accident  enabled  the  members  of  the  Lodge  to  display  the 
workings  of  their  Order,  and  to  illustrate,  in  the  fullest 
sense,  the  principles  which  govern  them,  by  practically 
demonstrating  the  grand  and  noble  objects  which  have  ren- 
dered the  Order  so  deservedly  popular.  That  which,  in 
the  weak  and  crippled  condition  of  the  Lodge,  might  have 
been  considered  as  a  heavy  blow,  was  really  a  blessing  to 
the  Order,  as  through  the  sufferings  of  a  member  the 
Lodge  was  enabled  to  practice  the  great  principles  of 
charity  and  brotherly  love  which  underlie  the  Order,  in 
fact  constitute  its  foundation  and  its  defenses.  With  this 
incident  began  the  prosperity  of  the  Lodge.  Its  list  of 
members  increased  steadily  until  it  now  (August  1st,  1870) 
numbers  sixty-seven  faithful  and  zealous  members.  A  fine 
new  hall  is  being  erected  for  Lodge  purposes,  at  a  cost  of 
four  thousand  two  hundred  dollars.  It  is  expected  that  it 
will  be  ready  for  occupancy  by  November  1st  of  the  pres- 
ent year. 

The  estimated  assets  of  the  Order  (exclusive  of  the  new 
hall)  are  one  thousand  dollars.  The  Lodge  has  lost  but  one 
member  by  death  since  its  organization.  Amount  paid

ton, F.  S. ;  Henry  Furry,  T.     Night  of  meeting,  Saturday. 

Yolo  Lodge,  169,  J.  Horning  N.  G.,  was  established  in 
Davisville,  April  12th,  1870.  Its  officers  are :  J.  Horning, 
N.  G.:  F.  Moultnor,  V.  G.;  E.  C.  Hartman,  E.  S.;  Wil- 
liam Weinberger,  T.     Night  of  meeting,  Saturday. 

Davisville  and  Woodland  Lodges  were  set  apart  as  Dis- 
trict 59,  of  which  N.  Wyckoif  is  District  Deputy  Grand 
Master. 

We  are  indebted  to  Dr.  H.  Jackson  for  the  following 
sketch  of  the  Orders  of  Good  Templars  and  Champions  of 
the  Eed  Cross : 


Woodland  Lodge,  No.  237,  I.  O.  of  G.  T.

or  over.  August  1st  the  number  of  members  in  good 
standing  was  one  hundred  and  nineteen.  Present  officers:

Champions  of  the  Red  Cross. 

An  Encampment  of  this  Order  was  established  in  Wood- 
land August  11th,  1870,  by  Key.  George  B.  Taylor.    Twenty 
charter  members  are  on  the  records,  which  constitute  the

Churches  and  Church  Organizations. 

We  are  indebted  to  the  pastors  of  the  several  denomina- 
tions for  the  following  account  of  the  various  Churches  in 
the  county: 

The  Methodist  Episcopal  Church 

Was  first  organized  in  1855,  by  J.  W.  Burton.  The  minis- 
ters who  have  been  in  charge  since  are  as  follows:  The 
founder,  or  organizer,  Mr.  Burton,  remained  in  charge  from 
1855  to  1856,  when  Eev.  R.  Hobart  succeeded,  remaining 
through  1857  ;  Bev.  B.  B.  Dunlap  officiated  in  1858-9 ; 
Rev.  H.  J.  Bland,  1860 ;  Bev.  B.  F.  Meyers,  1861 ;  J.  Cor- 
win,  1862  ;  J.  W.  Burton  resumed  charge  in  1863,  but  died 
during  that  year  and  his  place  was  supplied  by  Bev.  Mr. 
Bightmeyer  ;  Bev.  W.  N.  Smith,  1861 ;  Bev.  P.  Grove,  1865 
(died  in\870);  Bev.  W.  C.  Curry,  1866-7-8.     Bev.  W.  C.

churches,  with  an  average  attendance  of  two  hundred  and 
twenty-five  :  two  Sabbath  Schools,  with  one  hundred  pu- 
pils ;  church  j)roperty,  value  at  present  ten  thousand  dol- 
lars, original  cost  eight  thousand  five  hundred  dollars. 

Christian  Church. 

We  are  indebted  to  Eev.  J.  N.  Pendegast,  pastor  of  this 
church,  at  Woodland,  for  the  following  ' '  Statistics  of  the 
Church  of  Christ  (Disciples) :" 

"The  church  at  Woodland  was  organized  early  in  1854, 
with  about  twenty-five  members,  Elders  Thomas  Thompson 
and  Joshua  Lawson  officiating.  The  membership  has  stead- 
ily increased,  large  additions  having  been  made  from  time 
to  time,  until  the  whole  number  of  names  on  the  church 
register  exceeds  six  hundred.  The  present  membership 
numbers  two  hundred  and  fifty.  In  the  town  of  Woodland 
this  society,  as  a  church,  have  college  property  valued  at 
twenty  thousand  dollars  and  a  brick  church  valued  at  eight 
thousand  dollars.  The  church  service  is  held  on  the  Sab- 
bath, morning,  afternoon  and  evening;  besides  the  Sunday 
School  exercises.  The  Sunday  School  is  very  largely  at- 
tended— the  pupils  number  over  one  hundred.  In  Buckeye 
a  church  of  this  Order  was  organized  in  1858,  with  twenty 
members,  and  reorganized  in  1865  with  forty  members.  In 
Fairview,  or  Gordon  Valley,  another  church  was  organized 


YOLO   COUNTY.  .  133 

in  1868,  with  eigliteen  members.  Throiigliout  tlie  county 
the  church  is  in  a  most  prosperous  condition.  Summary — 
Three  church  organizations,  membership  three  hundred 
and  fifty;  Sabbath  Schools  (one  returned),  membership 
over  one  hundred;  value  of  church  property,  thirty  thou- 
sand dollars.  The  figures  regarding  the  Sabbath  Schools 
are  of  necessity  incomplete.  The  number  of  pupils  prob- 
ably approximates  one  hundred  and  fifty." 

Southern  Methodist  Episcopal  Church. 

This  organization  has  a  fine  church,  now  nearly  com- 
pleted, at  Knight's  Landing.  It  is  frame,  rustic  design, 
with  a  commanding  spire.  Its  dimensions  are  thirty-four 
by  fifty  feet.  The  contract  price  for  the  building  is  four 
thousand  dollars,  S.  Smith,  contractor  and  builder.  Rev. 
Mr.  Kelsey  is  the  present  pastor.  We  are  uninformed  re- 
garding the  strength  of  the  society. 

Cumberland  Presbyterians. 

This  society  has  but  a  few  members  i^i  the  county.  Ser- 
vice is  held  occasionally  at  what  is  commonly  known  as 
the  Union  Church,  near  Cacheville.  Rev.  M.  M.  Dodson, 
residing  near  Woodland,  is,  we  think,  the  only  pastor 
belonging  to  this  denomination  in  the  county. 

The  United  Brethren. 

This  denomination  hold  service  at  Brown's  school-house, 

about  two  miles  west  from  Woodland.     Rev.  G.  C.  Starr, 

pastor. 

Catholics. 

This  denomination  have  in  course  of  construction  a  brick 
church  in  Woodland,  of  which  Rev.  Father  Kelly,  of  Fol- 
som,  is  the  pastor.  When  completed,  the  building  will  be 
by  far  the  finest  building  of  the  kind  in  the  county.  The 
congregation  is  large  and  permanent,  being  composed 
mostly  of  farmers,  wealthy  residents  of  the  county.  It 
is  expected  that  the  church  will  be  completed  during  the 
year  and  a  resident  pastor  established  in  Woodland.

Congregational  Church- 

The  first  Congregational  Clinrch  of  Woodland  was  organ- 
ized during  the  present  snmmer.  At  present  tlie  meetings 
are  held  in  Templars'  Hall.  The  attendance  averages  about 
fifty.  A  Sunday  School  has  been  organized  with  a  large 
attendance.     Rev.  S.  R.  Eosborro  is  the  resident  pastor. 

At  Cottonwood  is  a  small  congregation  with  a  frt\me 
church,  built  by  the  late  Deacon  Holden.  '  This  church  has 
no  pastor  at  present;  late  incumbent,  Rev.  J.  W.  Brier. 

Baptist  Church. 
This  denomination  have  preaching  in  Woodland  and  at 
two  other  points  in  the  county.  The  church  is  now  consid- 
ering the  propriety  of  establishing  their  headquarters  for 
Tolo  County  at  Woodland,  and  erecting  a  sviitable  place  of 
public  worship.  The  Rev.  J.  E.  Barnes  is  pastor.  The  two 
organizations  are  called  Plainfield  Church  and  Grafton 
Church,  holding  service  at  Plainfield  and  two  miles  north 
from   Cacheville.     The  entire  church  numbers  about  fifty 

members. 

Schools. 

Owing  to  many  causes,  we  are  unable  to  present  as  de- 
tailed a  statement  of  school  matters  pertaining  to  the  county 
as  we  wished  to.  The  marked  apathy  existing  in  many  de- 
partments, which  has  prevented  a  fair  showing  of  important 
interests,  has  defeated  our  aims.  From  the  books  of  A.  C. 
Kean,  County  Treasurer,  who  has  rendered  us  valuable  as- 
sistance, we  have  taken  the  following  table,  including  the 
report  of  the  County  Superintendent,  of  August  26th,  1870. 
Names  of  districts,  number  of  scholars  and  the  amount  of 
apportionment  to  each  district  is  given,  together  with  the 
balance  on  hand  and  credited  to  the  fund  of  the  districts 
named.  According  to  the  report  of  the  State  Superintend- 
ent, the  whole  number  of  school  census  children,  between 
five  and  fifteen  years  of  age,  and  entitled  to  receive  State 
money,  is  fewo-thouoftHd— >>ey^a— httndrcd  and  forty  t^uififi,  W^j

136  THE   WE^ERN   SHORE   GAZETTEER. 

The  scliool-liouses  of  tlie  county  are  of  varied  cliaracter, 
some  being  very  good  and  others  the  opposite. 

In  Meritt's  District,  a  brick  school-house  was  erected  by 
a  few  individuals,  Messrs.  Cave  and  Curtis  being  the  most 
prominent  in  the  enterprise.  The  main  part  of  the  ex- 
pense was  shared  by  these  and  a  few  others,  who  were  dis- 
posed to  have  a  school  and  school-house  in  the  community. 
A  new  frame  school-house  was  erected  in  Cottonwood  last 
year  and  partially  finished  inside.  In  Capay  Valley  we 
find  very  good  school-houses — one  built  by  the  late  Mr,  S. 
Arnold,  and  a  few  others,  being  very  creditable.  Near 
Woodland  we  find  another  brick  school-house,  and  in 
Washington  a  very  creditable  frame  structure.  The  nar- 
rowness of  the  inhabitable  land  along  the  Sacramento  River 
presents  an  insurmountable  barrier  to  large  schools  in  that 
section.  Being  thinly  settled  in  portions,  the  cost  of  main- 
taining efficient  teachers  is  severely  felt,  and  the  same  stan- 
dard of  excellence  is  rarely  reached  there  that  is  attained 
in  more  favored  localities.  At  Washington,  Cacheville, 
Knight's  Landing  and  Woodland,  the  schools  are  kept  up 
to  a  high  standard  of  merit.  The  returns  not  having  been 
made  public,  we  give  no  percentage  of  attendance,  how- 
ever much  we  might  wish  to.

Manufacturing  Interests  of  the  County. 

Under  this  head  are  included  the  flouring  mills,  saw 
mills,  sash  and  door  mills,  carpenter  shops,  blacksmith 
shops,  saddle  and  harness  shops,  boot  and  shoe  shops, 
wagon  and  carriage  shops,  and  other  branches  of  industry. 
We  have  in  our  estimates  not  included  the  cost  of  material, 
but  simply  the  value  of  wares  manufactured  and  the  cost  of 
labor  employed.  From  this  estimate  must  be  deducted  the 
cost  of  material,  freight,  loss,  etc.,  which  in  many  cases  we 
were  unable  to  obtain.  In  connection  with  this  branch  of 
industry,  we  take  this  opportunity  of  calling  the  attention 
of  mill-men  and  manufacturers  to  the  fact  that  this  county 
possesses  unrivalled  water-power  and  facilities  for  the  erec- 
tion of  large  mills  and  manufactories.  Great  inducements 
are  ofiered  for  the  erection  of  a  woolen  mill — such  as  free 
power,  sufficient  stock  for  a  full  supply  of  material  raised 
in  the  county,  light  taxes,  and  many  other  considerations 
of  vital  importance  to  capitalists.  The  annual  increase  of 
sheep  is  a  certain  guarantee  of  an  unlimited  supply  of  wool 
for  a  mill  of  the  largest  class.  The  enterprising  citizens 
should  take  this  matter  in  hand  and  secure  the  speedy  erec- 
tion of  this  much-needed  element  of  prosperity. 

The  county  possesses  all  the  requisites  for  successful 
manufactories  of  various  kinds,  and  we  hope  to  see  a  sys- 
tem inaugurated  which  shall  add  to  our  material  wealth  and 
permanent  population. 

We  are  now  placed  in  open  competition  with  Eastern 
manufactories  and  Eastern  labor.  We  posssss  all  the  ele- 
ments for  successful  competition  in  our  midst,  and  it  re- 
quires but  the  direction  of  capital  and  labor  in  a  compara- 
tively new  channel  to  change  the  tide  of  exchange  and 
retain  within  our  own  State  the  money  which  has  so  long 


138  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

enriched  Eastern  manufacturers  and  impoverislied  our  citi- 
zens. 

High  prices  affect  not  the  trader,  but  the  consumer.  The 
want  of  home  industries  affects  not  the  rich;  the  loss  is  in- 
variabl}^  borne  by  the  poor.  The  laborer  can  well  stand  a 
reduction  in  wages,  provided  the  necessaries  of  life  are  re- 
duced in  a  corresponding  ratio. 

That  wages  have  decreased  is  a  fact;  that  they  will  fall 
still  further  is  a  foregone  conclusion.  We  are  no  longer 
isolated  from  the  world;  we  have  joined  hands  with  all 
nations  and  must  expect  their  competition.  To  guard  our- 
selves and  our  State  against  the  consequences  sure  to 
follow  this  change,  we  must  increase  our  manufactories  so 
as  to  enable  us  to  compete  with  foreign  consumers. 

Flour-Mills. 

Yolo  county  has  three  flour-mills,  located  as  follows: 
The  Woodland  Flouring  Mills,  Woodland;  the  Eagle  Flour- 
ing Mills,  Knight's  Landing;  and  the  Cacheville  Flour- 
ing Mills,  Cacheville. 

The  annual  product  of  the  mills  averages  about  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  thousand  dollars  in  value,  which  could  be 
materially  increased,  as  the  mills  possess  a  far  greater 
capacity,  amounting  to  three  hundred  and  fifty  barrels  per 
twenty-four  hours. 

The  brands  of  flour  made  at  these  mills  rank  among  the 
best,  having  been  long  and  favorably  known. 

Lately  the  mills  have  all  passed  into  the  hands  of  enter- 
prising and  able  men,  who  will,_  we  hope,  run  them  up 
to  their  full  capacity. 

Eagle  Mills. 

These  mills  are  now  run  by  Eliodes,  Beatty  &  Co. — J.  E. 
Rhodes,  Sacramento  City;  George  B.  Beatty,  of  Knight's 
Landing,  and  J.  L.  Eaves,  of  Woodland,  comprising  the 
firm. 

The  first  mill  built  in  Knight's  Landing  was  erected  in 
1856  by  Lane  &  Sherman,  and  contained  one  run  of  stone. 


YOLO  COUNTY.  139 

Tliis  mill  made  very  good  flour,  and  stood  until  tlie  grow- 
ing trade  compelled  the  erection  of  a  larger  structure. 

In  18o9,  Mr.  Zebulon  Gardner  erected  the  present  flour- 
ing mill,  which  contains  three  run  of  French  burrs,  one  run 
being  used  for  barley,  corn,  etc.  This  run  is  the  old  flour 
run  of  the  first  mill. 

The  mill  has  a  capacity  of  one  hundred  barrels  in  twenty- 
four  hours,  and  turns  out  very  superior  work.  The  brand 
has  taken  the  premium  at  the  State  Fair  over  all  competi- 
tors, and  enjoys  a  reputation  second  to  none  in  the  State. 

The  mill  has  been  running  day  and  night  for  some  time, 
and  will  run  in  this  manner  during  the  fall  and  winter,  the 
proprietors  being  unable  to  otherwise  supply  the  demand. 
The  proprietors  purchase  wheat  for  milling,  paying  the 
highest  market  prices  therefor,  and  in  all  respects  seem  in- 
clined to  render  this  in  the  future,  as  in  the  past,  a  first- 
class  mill. 

Cacheville  Flour-Mills. 

These  mills  were  erected  in  1865,  b}'  Dingley  &  Hatch . 
They  have  been  in  operation  from  that  time  until  the  spring 
of  the  present  year,  when  they  were  rented  by  E.  TI. 
Easthan,  long  and  favorably  known  in  connection  with  the 
Eagle  Mills,  Knight's  Landing.  Mr.  Easthan  has  thor- 
oughly overhauled  and  rebuilt  the  mills,  adding  a  steam 
engine,  thereby  enabling  him  to  carry  on  his  business  at 
any  season  of  the  year.  Formerly  the  motive  power  was 
water. 

Mr.  Easthan  has  added  a  new  run  of  French  burrs,  and 
feels  confident  that  with  his  experience  as  a  miller  (thirty 
years),  he  can  turn  out  as  good  work  as  can  be  found  else- 
where. 

It  is  the  intention  to  make  this  a  first-class  merchant  and 
custom-mill.  A  ready  market  for  wheat  can  be  obtained 
here  at  all  times.  The  mill  has  a  capacity  of  one  hundred 
and  fifty  barrels  in  twenty-four  hours. 

Seely's  Flour-Mill. 
Mr.  George  B.  Seelv  is  erecting  a  flour-mill  on  Putah 


140  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

Creek,  the  motive  power  of  wliicli  will  be  water.  It  will 
contain  two  run  of  burrs,  and  be  ready  for  business  by  the 
last  of  October. 

"Woodland  Flouring  Mills. 

These  mills  w^ere  erected  by  Adam  Gerlach  and  F.  S. 
Freeman,  in  the  spring  of  1863.  Since  that  time  they  have 
been  in  constant  use,  turning  out  a  large  amount  of  work. 
They  are  now  run  by  Rhodes,  Eaves  &  Co. — J.  R.  Rhodes, 
of  Sacramento;  George  R.  Beatty,  of  Knight's  Landing, 
and  J.  M.  Eaves,  of  Woodland,  constituting  the  company. 
These  gentlemen  have  thoroughly  overhauled  and  repaired 
the  mills,  and  are  now  prepared  to  do  first-class  work  in 
every  particular.  They  will  be  run  henceforth  as  mer- 
chant and  custom  mills.  The  proprietors  prepared  the 
mills  expressly  with  this  view.  The  farmers  in  the  vicin- 
ity can  find  here  a  ready  market  for  their  wheat.  These 
mills  have  a  capacity  of  one  hundred  barrels  per  twenty- 
four  hours.  Their  average  has  been  sixty  barrels  per  day, 
running  eight  months  in  the  year. 

CroTise's  Saw-Mill 

Is  located  at  Washington  Water  Works,  Washington.  It 
is  used  for  wood-sawing  for  the  railroad  company  and  local 
markets,  also  for  light  splitting.  A  turning  lathe  and 
other  machinery  is  connected  with  it.  Motive,  steam. 
Value  of  trade,  seventy-seven  thousand  dollars. 

Newton's  Mill, 

At  Woodland,  contains  circular  and  jig  saws  for  light  work. 
Unused  at  present.     Motive  power,  steam. 

Smith's  Mill. 

Smith's  carpenter-shop.  Knight's  Landing,  is  also  pro- 
vided with  steam  power,  saws,  turning-lathe  and  every 
essential  for  rapid  and  complete  work.  Value  of  trade, 
four  thousand  dollars. 


YOLO   COUNTY.  141 

Sibley's  Mill 

Is  located  at  Woodland.  Motive  power,  steam.  It  is  used 
in  connection  with  the  carpenter-shop  and  connected  with 
a  turning-lathe,  planing  machine  and  a  morticing  and  ten- 
oning machine.  Motive  power,  steam.  Value  of  trade, 
about  seven  thousand  dollars. 

Sashes  and  Doors. 

A  sash  and  door  manufactory  is  in  full  operation  at 
Woodland .  It  is  connected  with  Sibley's  Mill  and  owned 
and  conducted  by  him.  The  average  annual  value  of  the 
articles  manufactured  in  this  department  is  four  thousand 
dollars. 

Recapitulation  of  Mills. 

Three  flour  mills,  with  a  capacity  of  three  hundred  and 
fifty  barrels  per  twenty-four  hours.  Average  time  of  labor, 
eight  months  per  year.  Average  capacity,  eighty-four  thou- 
sand barrels.  About  thirty  men  are  employed  at  these 
mills,  their  aggregate  earnings  amounting  to  eighteen  thou- 
sand dollars.  Average  value  of  products,  two  hundred  and 
fifty  thousand  dollars  (not  half  their  capacity).  Our  esti- 
mates are  taken  from  the  past  season,  before  the  mills  were 
repaired,  and  will  probably  fall  short  fully  one-third  of  the 
amount  of  this  year's  work.  We  have  estimated  the  run- 
ning time  as  eight  months;  it  may  be  much  larger  for  this 
season. 

The  saw-mills  and  carpenter-shops  enumerated  employ 
an  average  of  twenty-three  men,  w^hose  annual  earnings 
aggregate  twenty-eight  thousand  dollars.  Total  earnings 
of  milling  laborers,  forty-six  thousand  dollars. 

This  resume  includes  only  the  milling  interest  of  the 
county  in  grain,  and  lumber,  resawed  or  manufactured. 
There  are  no  lumber-mills,  the  county  possessing  no  tim- 
ber suitable  for  lumbering  purposes. 

Leaving  this  branch  of  industry,  we  pass  to  a  brief  re- 
view of  the 


142  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

Wagon,  Carriage  and  Blacksmith  Shops, 

Whicli  are  connected  in  a  manner  that  forbids  a  separate 
consideration.  There  are  twelve  shops  in  the  county  where 
wagon  and  carriage  making  is  extensively  conducted  in 
connection  with  blacksmithing,  and  in  most  of  the  other 
shops  repairing  and  a  limited  amount  of  new  work  is  done. 
As  an  evidence  of  the  growth  and  prosperity  of  the  county, 
as  illustrated  by  its  manufactories,  Ave  give  a  short  sketch 
of 

Elliott's  Carriage  Manufactory 

And  blacksmith-shop.  In  the  spring  of  1856  J.  McClure 
established  the  first  blacksmith-shop  in  Woodland,  then 
known  as  "Yolo  City."  It  stood  nearly  in  front  of  F.  S. 
Freeman's  old  residence  for  some  years,  until  removed  to 
where  it  now  stands,  in  the  rear  of  the  present  manufac- 
tory. Theje  was  no  wood  department  attached  at  first. 
In  the  fall  of  that  year  (1856)  E.  R.  Moses  commenced 
wood-working  in  the  shop  and  continued  till  the  following 
spring,  when  he  opened  a  shop  on  what  is  known  as  String- 
town  Lane.  Meanwhile  McClure  had  sold  his  interest  to 
J.  Wilgamott,  who  conducted  the  business  until  August, 
1857,  when  he  sold  the  shop  to  E.  E.  Moses,  who  removed 
from  the  lane  and  began  business  at  the  old  shop,  by  first 
rebuilding  it  and  removing  it  to  where  it  now  stands. 
From  that  time  the  business  was  under  the  supervision  of 
Moses,  who  soon  acquired  a  large  trade,  which  constantly 
increased  until  he  disposed  of  the  business  to  the  present 
proprietor,  Clark  Elliott,  in  1864.  From  this  small  begin- 
ning has  grown  one  of  the  largest  manufacturing  interests 
in  the  county  and  one  of  the  most  noted  shops  in  the  State. 
The  reputation  of  the  wagons  first  made  was  second  to 
none,  and  by  careful  attention  to  the  rules  of  the  trade  that 
reputation  has  been  maintained.  Fair  dealing  and  good 
work,  the  mainsprings  of  success  in  any  industry,  have  ever 
characterized  the  establishment,  and  have  been  the  main 
cause  of  the  rapidly-spreading  trade  and  increasing  demand 
for  the  products  of  the  shop.     Finding  the  old  establish- 


YOLO   COUNTY.  143 

ment  too  small  for  the  growing  trade,  Mr.  Elliott  erected  a 
brick  shop,  two  stories  high,  twenty-eight  by  sixty  feet,  in 
the  fall  of  1866.  The  following  year  he  added  another,  of 
the  same  height,  fifty-six  feet  front  and  sixty  feet  deep, 
making  a  shop  of  ninety-four  feet  front  and  sixty  feet  depth. 

We  have  no  hesitancy  in  pronouncing  this  the  finest  and 
best  carriage-shop  outside  of  San  Francisco,  and  in  its 
completements  and  necessary  machinery  it  is  equal  to  any 
in  that  city.  About  twenty  men  are  employed  in  the  shop, 
which  turns  out  from  one  hundred  and  twenty  to  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  wagons  and  buggies  during  the  yeai;.  A 
specialty  has  been  made  in  buggies,  a  department  for  this 
class,  including  trimming,  having  been  established  when 
the  new  shop  was  built. 

In  connection  with  this  shop,  we  take  pleasure  in  calling 
the  attention  of  the  public  to  the  new  style  buggy  springs 
manufactured  here,  the  patent  right  of  which  is  held  by 
Messrs.  Elliott  &  Hiller,  the  latter  named  gentleman  being 
the  inventor.  We  clip  the  following  description  of  the 
article  from  the  Scientific  Press  of  September  24th,  premis- 
ing that  it  gives  a  better  account  of  the  invention  than  we 
could.  A  cut  of  the  springs  when  in  position  will  be  found 
in  another  part  of  the  Gazetteer  : 

"  We  have  often  spoken  of  the  importance  of  improve- 
ments in  the  construction  of  vehicles,  with  respect  both  to 
the  comfort  of  the  person  carried  and  to  the  ease  of  the 
draft  animal.  We  have  now  another  invention  of  the  kind, 
which  is  well  worth  the  notice  of  those  who  are  accus- 
tomed to  ride  considerably  in  carriages. 

"This  consists  in  a  certain  arrangement  of  the  springs 
and  their  connections,  whereby  all  the  motion  imparted  in 
traveling  is  given  directly  from  the  center  of  the  body,  and 
combining  suitably  inclosed  rubber  springs  with  wooden 
ones,  so  that  the  carriage  rides  very  easily  and  noiselessly. 
A  glance  at  the  drawing  will  show  how  this  is  effected. 

"  Curved  w^ooden  springs.  A,  at  each  side  of  the  body, 
rise  in  an  arch  from  the  bolster  and  rear  axle  bed,  being 
connected  at  their  centers  by  a  stout  transverse  bar,  shown 
in  the  cut.     To  this  bar,  between  the  springs,  A,  is  con- 


144  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

nected  also  a  similarly  curved  spring,  B,  wliich,  however, 
curves  downward,  and  whose  ends  are  fastened  at  or  near 
the  ends  of  the  carriage-bodj.  Thus,  all  motion  received 
in  passing  over  rough  ground  is  transmitted  to  the  body  at 
its  center,  instead  of  at  the  ends,  as  is  generally  the  case. 
The  side  motion,  as  well  as  the  end  motion,  is  also  greatly 
reduced. 

"The  two  side  springs,  A.,  are  connected  to  the  body  at 
their  center  by  a  device  denoted  by  C.  This  is  constructed 
as  follows:  Two  metal  plates  are  fastened  as  most  con- 
venient to  the  carriage  body  and  extend  down  on  each  side 
of  the  spring.  A  vertical  slot  at  the  lower  part  of  each 
plate,  and  a  pin  extending  through  this  slot  from  the  side 
of  the  spring,  guide  it  in  its  motion.  BetAveen  these  plates 
is  a  block  of  rubber,  usually  of  the  form  shown,  taper- 
ing downwards  towards  each  end,  and  curved  springs  in- 
close this  block  above  and  below  (between  the  plates),  one 
of  which  is  fastened  to  the  body,  the  other  to  the  spring. 
Any  motion  forward  or  back  will  cause  these  springs  to 
compress  the  rubber  in  that  direction,  without  forcing  it 
out  of  place ;  and  if  the  pres'sure  should  be  very  great,  the 
ends  of  the  springs  will  be  brought  together,  and  thus  give 
additional  resistance. 

"  In  order  to  give  still  greater  elasticity,  and  at  the  same 
time  prevent  the  connection  at  the  ends  of  A  and  B  from 
working  loose,  these  ends  are  provided  with  slots,  which 
hold  blocks  of  rubber,  which  rest  on  the  bolts.  This  is 
more  especially  necessary  in  the  spring,  B,  as  when  the 
carriage-body  rocks  forward  and  backward  it  causes  consid- 
erable end  motion,  which  the  lasticity  of  the  spring,  G, 
would  not  be  sufficient  for. 

"  The  inventor  having  made  strong  claims  for  the  excel- 
lence of  his  device,  a  representative  of  the  Press  was  sent 
to  test  it.  After  a  satisfactory  experiment,  he  reports  that 
for  ease  and  comfort  he  knows  of  no  superior,  if  of  an 
equal. 

"A  patent  for  this  improvement  was  granted  August 
11th,  1870,  through  the  Scientific  Press  Patent  Agency,  to 
John   R.  Hiller   and  Clark   Elliott,    of    Woodland,    Yolo 


YOLO   COUNTY.  145 

County,  CaL,  who  may  be  addressed  for  any  further  infor- 
mation." 

This  is  one  of  the  institutions  that  add  wealth  and  pros- 
perity to  a  phxce — first  in  the  permanent  and  valuable  build- 
ings erected,  and  secondly  in  the  products  of  the  business. 
Mechanics  are  producers;  and  a  town  can  rate  its  wealth 
and  claim  permanent  prosperity  according  to  its  manufac- 
tures. In  this  respect  Woodland  is  far  in  advance  of  many 
towns,  her  superiors  in  size  but  not  in  enterprising  business 
men  and  manufacturing  interests. 

There  are  other  minor  shops  in  Woodland  where  the 
business  of  wagon-making  is  carried  on  to  a  limited  extent, 
among  which  are  the  shops  of  C.  L.  Beach,  R.  Diusmore 
and  Mr.  Perry — all  on  Main  Street. 


Plummer's  Shop. 

At  Knight's  Landing  is  also  a  large  shop,  employing 
twenty  men  and  turning  out  a  large  number  of  vehicles  of 
every  description.  The  annual  number  of  wagons,  bug- 
gies, etc.,  reaches  one  hundred  and  fifty  to  two  hundred, 
manufactured  and  sold  at  his  shop. 

Peters  &  Howard's  Shop. 

This  wagon-shop  in  Davisville,  though  much  smaller  than 
either  one  mentioned,  turns  out  a  large  amount  of  good 
work.  The  specialty  of  this  shop  is  wagons,  light  and 
heavy,  averaging  from  forty  to  fifty  annually. 

Robertson's  Shop, 

Also  located  in  Davisville,  is  doing  a  good  business  in  light 
and  heavy  wagons,  making  from  forty  to  fifty  per  annum. 
Repairing  and  blacksmithing  in  all  its  branches  is  con- 
nected with  both  shops. 

We  can  only  mention  the  most  prominent  shops;  hence, 
we  pass  to  a  brief  summary  of  the  trade : 

Wagon-  and  blacksmith-shops,  twelve ;  blacksmith-shops, 
10 


146  THE  WESTERN   SHORE   GAZETTEER. 

twenty-three;  total,  thirty-five.  Number  of  blacksmiths, 
seventy-two.  Woochvorkers,  jiainters  and  trimmers,  thirty- 
seven.  Number  of  vehicles  made,  five  hundred.  Value  of 
manufactures,  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  thousand  dol- 
lars; value  of  trade  work,  inchiding  cost  of  material,  two 
hundred  and  ten  thousand  dollars;  total  value  of  trade, 
three  hundred  and  thirty-five  thousand  dollars.  Mechanics 
employed,  one  hundred  and  nine.  Cost  of  labor,  one  hun- 
dred and  nine  thousand  dollars.  Cost  of  material  consumed, 
one  hundred  and  sixty-three  thousand  dollars.  We  have 
not  included  cost  of  damaged  material,  rent  of  buildings, 
bad  debts,  etc.,  in  this  estimate,  which  is  based  on  figures 
obtained  from  the  leading  shops. 

With  this  7'esume  we  pass  to  a  consideration  of  the 

Harness  and  Saddle-Shops. 

We  find  a  record  of  thirteen  shops  where  the  manufac- 
ture of  saddles  and  harness  is  conducted,  the  largest  of 
which  (Deitz's)  is  situated  in  Woodland.  The  number  of 
men  employed  in  this  branch  of  manufactures  is  twenty- 
one,  whose  annual  earnings  amount  to  twenty  thousand 
dollars.  The  value  of  articles  made,  including  cost  of  ma- 
terial, is  seventy-three  thousand  dollars.  From  this  must  be 
taken  the  cost  of  material,  the  amount  of  which  we  are  un- 
able to  determine. 

Boot  and  Shoe-Shops. 

There  are  eleven  boot  and  shoe-shops  in  the  county, 
with  fifteen  men,  working  at  custom-work.  The  value  of 
the  wares  aggregate  about  seventeen  thousand  dollars. 
Value  of  labor,  eight  thousand  five  hundred  dollars.  Esti- 
mates of  material  consumed  not  criven. 


Carpenters'  Shops. 

There   are   four   large   carpenter-shops   and  many  small 
ones  in  the  county.     No  estimate  of  the  value  of  the  manu- 


YOLO  COUNTY.  147 

factures  can  be  given,  as  the  material  and  labor  are  insep- 
arably connected.  There  are  ninety-five  carpenters  in  the 
county,  about  fifty  of  whom  are  working  at  their  trade,  the 
others  being  employed  at  other  vocations.  Their  earnings 
may  be  estimated  at  fifty  thousand  dollars. 

Cabinet-Shops. 

There  are  three  cabinet-shops  in  the  county,  where  a  lim- 
ited amount  of  furniture  is  manufactured.  The  aggregate 
value  of  wares  is  five  thousand  dollars. 

Bakeries. 


There  are  four  bakeries  in  the  count}^,  doing  an  aggregate 
business  of  sixteen  thousand  eight  hundred  dollars.  The 
labor  of  seven  men  is  estimated  at  five  thousand  dollars. 


Breweries— Yolo  Brewery. 

There  are  two  large  breweries  in  Woodland,  one  of  which 
(the  Yolo  Brewery)  was  established  in  1861  b}"  Scherley  & 
Miller,  the  present  proprietors.  The  first  brewery  was  a 
small  frame  building,  put  up  about  two  miles  from  town. 
In  1862  it  was  moved  to  the  site  of  the  present  brewery, 
on  Main  Street,  where  it  still  stands  by  the  side  of  the  new 
edifice.  In  1868  the  present  brewery  was  erected,  which  is 
forty  by  fifty  feet,  two  stories  high  and  built  of  brick.  The 
brewery  has  a  capacity  of  six  barrels  per  day,  but  is  only 
run  for  the  home  market,  averaging  about  eight  barrels  per 
week.  A  large  still  is  included  in  the  brewery,  but  is  not 
used,  owing  to  the  revenue  restrictions.  A  part  of  the  hops 
used  in  brewing  are  raised  by  the  proprietors,  as  well  as  a 
large  portion  of  the  barley.  Three  men  are  employed  con- 
stantly, besides  the  proprietors. 

"Woodland  Brewery. 

This  brewery  was  established  in  February,  1870,  by  George 
and  John  Wirth.     This  building  is  of  wood,  twenty  by  thirty 


148  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

feet  and  one  story  high.  Tlie  brewery  apparatus  lias  a  ca- 
pacity of  five  to  six  barrels  per  day,  but  is  run  only  for 
local  market.  The  proprietors  employ  two  men,  and  pur- 
chase all  their  hops  and  barley. 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  proprietors  to  enlarge  their  busi- 
ness, and  compete  with  other  breweries  for  the  trade  in 
other  localities. 

The  beer  manufactured  in  Yolo  County  has  long  sustained 
a  first-class  reputation,  it  being  asserted  that  the  water  is 
peculiarly  adapted  to  the  business.  The  annual  sales  from 
these  breweries  reach  about  fifteen  thousand  dollars. 


"Wineries. 

There  are  several  establishments  in  Yolo  County  where 
wine  is  manufactured  in  greater  or  lesser  cjuantities.  Sev- 
eral farmers  who  have  small  vineyards  make  wine  from 
their  surplus  grapes.  Of  this  class  we  make  no  mention, 
as  the  amount  so  made  is  not  prepared  for  market,  and  we 
have  no  data  by  which  to  arrive  at  the  quantity. 

But  there  are  several  wineries  where  wine  of  various 
brands  is  made;  also,  brandies  and  vinegar.  First  among 
these,  because  the  oldest,  is  the 

Capay  Valley  Winery, 

At  Gillig's  Kanch,  Capay  Yalley.  At  this  place  the  annual 
crop  from  the  home  vineyard  is  manufactured  into  wine, 
beside  the  crops  of  several  small  vineyards  in  the  surround- 
ing neighborhood.  About  thirty  thousand  gallons  of  wine 
are  manufactured  yearly  at  this  j)lace — the  white  and  red 
varieties. 

Woodland  Winery  No.  2. 

This  winery  was  established  in  July,  1869,  by  Messrs. 
Lallemond  &  MendssoUe.  Their  specialties  are  claret  and 
champagne.  In  1809  they  purchased  two  hundred  and  ten 
tons  of  grapes,  from  which  they  manufactured  twenty-six 
thousand  gallons  of  wine  and  twenty-five  thousand  gallons 


•  YOLO   COUNTY.  149 

of  brandy.  Their  liquors  are  sent  to  the  Sau  Francisco 
market,  a  branch  of  their  European  house  having  been  long 
established  in  that  city. 

"Woodland  "Winery  No.  1 ,  or  Stoutenberg's  "Winery, 

Was  established  September,  1866,  by  E.  Barnes.  On  the 
twenty-second  of  October,  the  first  wine  was  made.  The  vint- 
age of  1866  was  twelve  thousand  gallons  of  wine  and  nine 
thousand  gallons  of  brandy. 

In  1867,  three  thousand  gallons  of  wine,  two  thousand 
gallons  of  vinegar  and  eight  hundred  gallons  of  brandy 
were  manufactured. 

In  1868,  about  the  same  amount  was  added.  In  1869,  the 
winery  was  idle,  and  it  so  remained  until  1870,  when  it  was 
purchased  by  the  present  proprietor,  Mr.  Stoutenberg. 

About  five  thousand  gallons  of  wine,  red  and  white,  are 
now  on  hand  of  the  vintage  of  1866-7-8. 

The  Orleans-Hills  "Winery 

Is  o^svTied  by  a  joint-stock  company;  capital,  one  hundred 
thousand  dollars;  place  of  business,  Sacramento.  The  vine- 
yard is  located  in  the  foothills,  near  the  mouth  of  Cache 
Creek  Canon,  about  eighteen  miles  northwest  from  "Wood- 
land. The  vines  are  all  on  the  hills,  and  receive  no  irriga- 
tion. The  varieties  grown  are  selections  from  the  best 
known  German  and  other  foreign  grapes,  such  as  are  pecu- 
liarly adapted  to  wine-making.  A  very  superior  article  of 
white  and  red  wine  is  prepared  by  this  company,  which 
commands  a  high  price  and  finds  a  ready  sale.  Five  thou- 
sand gallons  were  made  last  year.  Mr.  Knautli,  a  practical 
German  wine-maker,  has  charge  of  the  business. 

Schindler's  "Winery. 
At  Cacheville,  D.  Schindler  mamifactures  wine  of  diflerent 
qualities,  including  some  choice  varieties.     There  are  sev- 
eral  places  of   smaller   note   in   the  county,  but   we   have 
glanced  at  the  most  prominent. 


150  THE   WESTERN   SHOKE   GAZETTEER.         • 

The  estimated  manufacture  for  tlie  present  year  is  put 
down  at  one  hundred  thousand  gallons  of  wine,  valued  at 
fifty  thousand  dollars.  AVe  cannot  estimate  the  brandy;  in 
that  we  can  only  take  the  last  year's  record,  as  much  depends 
on  the  price  of  new  wines. 

In  1869,  about  seven  thousand  gallons  of  brandy  were 
made,  valued  at  ten  thousand  dollars.  Total,  wine  and 
brandy,  sixty  thousand  dollars. 

Refinery. 

At  Washington,  a  refinery  has  been  established,  for  the 
purpose  of  redistilling  liquors,  or  the  removing  of  the 
fusil  oil  from  liquors  distilled  in  the  ordinary  way.  The 
parties  putting  up  the  machinery  claim  that  they  can  remove 
every  particle  of  the  fusil  oil  from  the  native  liquors,  there- 
by removing  the  great  objection  to  California  brandies. 
Should  they  be  able  to  perform  what  they  promise,  it  will 
be  of  great  benefit  to  the  trade,  as  the  chief  objection 
raised  against  California  brandy  is  the  great  quantities  of 
this  dangerous  element  found  in  all  samples.  So  far  it  is 
but  an  experiment,  as  the  machinery  was  put  up  this  sea- 
son, and  we  are  obliged  to  await  results  before  determining 
on  the  merits  of  the  invention,  which  was  patented  but  a 
short  time  since  by  an  Eastern  distiller.  Therefore  we 
make  no  estimates  regarding  the  value  of  manufacturers, 
neither  can  we  estimate  the  value  of  labor  connected  there- 
with. The  proprietors,  Messrs.  AVilcox  &  Eock,  are  gentle- 
men of  large  experience  and  practical  workers.  We  may 
confidently  expect  satisfactory  results  from  the  undertaking. 
Success  in  this  direction  will  be  of  incalculcable  benefit  to 
the  wine-  and  brandy-makers  of  the  State. 

Brick  Making  and  Erick- Yards. 

In  Woodland  are  two  large  brick-yards,  owned  by  Nathan 
Elliott  and  Mr.  Craft.  These  yards  do  a  largo  business,  as 
lurgo  or  larger  than  all  other  yards  in  the  county  com- 
bined. 


YOLO   COUNTY.  151 


Elliott's  Brick- Yard. 

In  the  spring  of  1865  Mr.  Elliott  commenced  the  manu- 
facture of  brick  in  Woodland,  making  during  that  season 
.three  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  brick.  In  1866  he  made 
seven  hundred  and  fifty  thousand.  During  those  two 
years  Mr.  Elliott's  yard  was  the  only  one  in  Woodland. 
In  1867  A.  Armstrong  opened  a  brick-yard,  the  number 
made  by  him  being  six  hundred  thousand.  That  season 
Elliott  turned  out  five  hundred  thousand  brick.  In  1868-9 
the  yard  was  idle,  its  owner  being  engaged  in  other  busi- 
ness. This  present  season  Elliott's  yard  will  turn  out 
twelve  hundred  thousand  brick.  Thus  far  the  brick  made 
in  Woodland  has  been  used  in  that  town.  With  the  facili- 
ties of  railroad  transportation  the  Woodland  brick-yards 
can  now  compete  successfully  with  those  of  any  part  of  the 
State.  The  quality  manufactured  is  inferior  to  none,  and 
they  can  be  furnished  anywhere  along  the  railroad  at  San 
Francisco  or  Sacramento  prices. 


Cacheville  Brick- Yard. 

About  half  a  mile  from  Cacheville,  on  the  Woodland 
road,  is  the  brick-yard  and  kilns  of  Mr.  Lott  Day.  About 
two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  brick  are  made  here  an- 
ually  and  are  disposed  of  in  the  local  market. 

Lang's  Brick- Yard. 

At  the  mouth  of  Cache  Creek  Caiion,  twenty  miles  north- 
east from  Woodland,  J.  Lang  has  established  a  large  brick- 
yard, which  will  be  conducted  as  a  permanent  business. 
The  quality  of  the  brick  is  excellent,  and  the  nature  of  the 
soil  is  such  that  suj)erior  facilities  are  afforded  for  making 
an  excellent  article.  The  market  for  this  yard  will  be  found 
both  in  the  local  demand  and  other  parts  of  the  county. 
About  two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  will  be  made  at  this 
yard  this  season. 


152  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 


Craft's  Brick- Yard 

Is  located  in  Woodland,  and  was  established  in  1867. 
Since  it  lias  been  in  operation  it  lias  turned,  out  a  large 
quantity  of  excellent  brick,  most  of  which  have  been  used  _ 
in  Woodland.  In  fact,  there  has  been  at  no  time  in  Wood- 
land any  great  amount  of  brick  left  over  after  the  building 
season  Avas  past,  when  it  was  often  extremely  difficult  to 
obtain  small  quantities;  but  this  will  be  remedied  in*the 
future.  Craft's  jard  will  turn  out  two  million  brick  this 
year,  which,  with  those  made  at  the  other  yards,  will  meet 
the  constantly  increasing  demand. 

At  Elliott's,  Craft's  and  Lang's  yards,  the  proprietors 
will  keep  a  full  supply  on  hand. 

About  four  million  two  hundred  thousand  brick  will  be 
made  in  the  county  this  season,  valued  at  twenty-nine  thou- 
sand seven  hundred  dollars. 

Tailors. 
There  are  three  tailor-shops  in  Woodland,  confined  to  cus- 
tom-work. The  trade  being  limited  to  this  class  of  work, 
Ave  record  no  employees,  the  business  being  conducted  by 
the  proprietors.  We  have  no  means  of  knowing  the  annual 
trade,  and  therefore  make  no  estimate. 

Chicory. 

Ill  1860  Adolph  Palm  and  Henry  Harmes  commenced  the 
cultivation  and  manufacturing  of  chicory,  on  the  Sacra- 
mento Kiver,  a  few  miles  below  Washington.  Their  first 
experiment  was  Avitli  seed  imported  from  Germany,  which 
proved  successful.  The  first  year  they  planted  fifteen  acres, 
which  they  have  gradual!}^  increased,  until  noAv  they  culti- 
vate sixty  acres.  The  average  yield  is  about  thirty  tons  of 
green  chicory.  When  prepared  for  market  it  is  shipped 
dried  to  San  Francisco,  and  there  sold  at  Avholesale. 

The  article  is  pronounced  superior  to  the  imported,  and 
coiniiiaiids  eight  to  nine  cents  per  pound.  The  cost  of  the 
imported  article  in  the  United  States  is  estimated  at  four 


YOLO   COUNTY.  153 

million  dollars  per  annum,  which  could  all  be  supplied 
from  this  State  would  producers  but 'turn  their  attention  to 
it.  There  is  almost  unlimited  quantities  of  suitable  land 
along  the  rivers  and  creeks  of  this  State,  sufficient  at  least 
to  raise  all  the  chicory  consumed  in  the  Union. 

At  present  there  is  a  duty  of  five  per  cent,  on  the  im- 
ported article,  which  enables  our  people  to  compete  with 
the  cheaper  foreign  labor.  Should  that  be  removed  it 
would  be  impossible  to  compete  with  the  foreign  produc- 
tion and  the  growing  of  chicory  in  California  would  cease 
to  be  profitable,  and  consequently  would  be  abandoned. 
We  are  informed  by  Mr.  Palm  that  ten  years  of  consec- 
utive seeding  has  not  injured  the  land  or  abated  the  yield; 
on  the  contrary,  the  land  appears  to  have  improved  under 
the  culture. 

Chicory,  when  properly  prepared,  is  used  as  a  substitute 
for  cofi'ee,  being  generally  mixed  with  it  in  the  proportion 
of  one  pound  of  chicory  to  three  of  coffee;  and  generally 
the  ground  coffee  on  sale  is  one-third  chicory.  Many  pre- 
fer the  mixed  article,  and  there  have  been  times  in  San 
Francisco  when  chicory  commanded  a  higher  price  than 
coffee,  owing  to  the  supply  being  insufficient  to  meet  the 
demand  for  that  particular  kind  of  coffee  which  is  so  largely 
composed  of  chicory. 

When  growing,  chicory  root  somewhat  resembles  the 
wild  parsnip  in  appearance,  though  the  leaves  are  long, 
slender  and  swordlike,  with  smooth  edges.  The  clusters  of 
leaves,  in  formation  and  manner  of  growth,  resemble  the 
beet-top,  though  each  individual  leaf  bears  no  resemblance 
to  the  leaf  of  the  beet.  In  color  they  are  of  a  bright  green, 
while  the  bulb  or  root,  is  a  dirty,  yellowish  white. 

The  ground  is  prepared  for  chicory  the  same  as  for  beets 
or  carrots.  The  seed  is  then  planted  in  drills,  about 
eighteen  inches  or  two  feet  being  left  between  the  rows. 
It  is  planted  from  the  latter  part  of  February  until  the 
middle  of  April,  thus  avoiding  the  ripening  of  the  whole 
crop  at  one  time.  It  has  been  sown  as  late  as  the  fifth  of 
May,  and  ripened  well,  producing  a  good  yield. 

Sometimes  the  growing  crop  is  injured  by  a  species  of 


154  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

flea  wliicli  eats  the  tops,  thereby  stunting  the  growth  of  the 
root.  This  pest  rarely  makes  its  appearance,  however,  and 
as  a  general  rule  the  plant  is  molested  by  nothing  and 
requires  no  more  care  than  that  necessary  to  keep  the 
grouiid  clear  of  weeds. 

There  are  employed  on  this  chicory  farm  nine  white  men, 
the  year  together;  and  during  the  harvesting  and  curing  of 
the  crop  twenty-five  Chinamen  are  employed. 

When  fully  ripe  the  chicory  is  pulled  and  the  root  separ- 
ated from  the  top,  the  latter  being  of  no  value.  The  roots 
are  then  run  through  a  cutter,  which  cuts  them  in  thin 
slips.  After  they  pass  through  the  cutter  they  are  spread 
out  on  the  platforms  to  dry  in  the  sun.  This  occupies  from 
four  to  six  days,  according  to  the  weather.  There  are  two 
platforms  for  drying  the  root,  raised  about  four  feet  from 
the  ground  and  covered  with  boards.  One  is  eighty-four 
by  one  hundred  feet,  the  other  forty-eight  by  one  hundred 
and  seventy-five  feet.  When  sufficiently  cured  the  chicory 
is  removed  to  the  mill,  where  it  is  placed  in  two  revolving 
iron  drums  and  thrust  into  the  furnaces,  where  it  is  roasted. 
This  is  a  very  nice  and  particular  ojieration,  and  great  care 
must  be  exercised  lest  the  "batch"  be  spoiled.  From  the 
drums  it  is  removed  to  the  coffee-mill,  where  it  is  ground; 
from  thence  to  the  packing-room,  where  it  is  packed  in  bar- 
rels containing  from  one  hundred  and  fifty  to  two  hundred 
pounds  and  shipped  to  market. 

This  may  serve  to  inform  our  readers  of  the  manner  in 
which  chicory  is  grbwn  and  prepared  for  their  tables. 

The  mill,  engine  and  machinery  cost  about  ten  thousand 
dollars.  The  yearly  sales  from  this  establishment  approxi- 
mate fifty  thousand  dollars.  Cost  of  labor,  ten  thousand 
dollars. 

Recapitulation. 

We  have  now  glanced  at  the  most  important  branches  of 
industry,  with  the  ^exception  of  the  dairy,  whitsh  will  be 
treated  in  connection  with  the  dairy  farms  of  the  county. 
AVe  will  briefly  recapitulate  the  value  of  manufactures,  so 
far  as  can  be  ascertained. 


YOLO   COUNTY.  155 

In  forming  the  estimates  for  the  flour-mills  we  took  last 
year's  reports,  and  upon  that  shall  base  our  estimates  for 
this  year.  We  have  also,  in  most  cases,  recorded  the  work- 
ing time  of  mechanics  and  shops  at  eight  months.  The 
various  wages  of  tradesmen  have  been  reckoned  at  the 
average  prices- — three  dollars,  three  dollars  and  fifty  cents, 
and  four  dollars  per  day,  exclusive  of  board.  We  find  the 
annual  value  of  the  flouring  trade  to  be  two  hundred  and 
fifty  thousand  dollars.  Saw-mills  and  sash  and  door  manu- 
factory, twelve  thousand  dollars.  Employed  in  these  two 
branches,  fifty-three  men;  wages,  forty-six  thousand  dollars. 
In  the  mills  and  carpenter-shops,  the  work  might  safely  be 
put  down  for  the  year,  instead  of  the  time  we  have  com- 
puted. Wagon,  carriage  and  blacksmith  trade,  three  hun- 
dred and  thirty-five  thousand  dollars;  cost  of  labor,  one 
hundred  and  nine  thousand  dollars.  Harness  and  saddle 
trade,  fifty-three  thousand  dollars;  cost  of  labor,  twenty 
thousand  dollars.  Boot  and  shoe  trade,  seventeen  thousand 
dollars;  cost  of  labor,  eight  thousand  five  hundred  dollars. 
Carpenters'  trade  (no  estimate) ;  cost  of  labor,  fifty  thousand 
dollars.  Cabinet-ware  trade,  five  thousand  dollars.  Bak- 
er's trade,  sixteen  thousand  eight  hundred  dollars;  cost  of 
labor,  five  thousand  dollars.  Brewers'  trade,  fifteen  thou- 
sand dollars;  cost  of  labor  (j)roprietors  not  included), 
three  thousand  dollars.  Wine  and  brandy  trade,  sixty 
thousand  dollars;  cost  of  labor,  seven  thousand  dollars. 
Brick  trade,  twenty -nine  thousand  four  hundred  dollars; 
cost  of  labor,  five  thousand  dollars.  Chicory  trade,  fifty 
thousand  dollars ;  cost  of  labor,  ten  thousand  dollars. 
Total  value  of  manufactures,  eight  hundred  and  forty-three 
thousand  two  hundred  dollars.  Total  value  of  labor  so 
engaged,  two  hundred  and  sixty-three  thousand  five  hun- 
dred dollars.  Total  cost  of  material  used,  no  reliable 
estimate  as  a  whole,  but  parts  of  the  trades  enumerated, 
return  sums  that  foot  up  over  three  hundred  and  forty 
thousand  dollars. 

To  this  summary  may  be  added  the  tinners'  trade,  which 
employs  about  eight  men,  at  a  yearly  pay-roll  of  six  thou- 
sand dollars,  making  two  hundred  and  sixty-nine  thousand 


156  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

five  liundred  dollars  paid  the  various  branches  of  manufac- 
tures enumerated.  The  sum  will  be  increased  to  three  hun- 
dred thousand  dollars  by  smaller  branches,  of  which  no 
mention  has  been  made.  In  including  expenses  of  manu- 
factures, we  must  consider  all  material  used,  rent  and  in- 
surance, value  of  property,  machinery,  etc.,  and  these  par- 
ticulars we  were  unable  to  obtain  in  season  for  this  volume. 
Hence,  the  expenses  attending  these  manufactures,  with 
but  few  exceptions,  have  been  omitted,  as  the  data  furnished 
us  was  too  crude  to  be  of  service. 


Imports. 

Under  this  head  we  include  all  articles  of  merchandise, 
but  nothing  further.  Stock  of  several  varieties  have  been 
imjoorted  during  the  year,  as  will  be  mentioned  elsewhere. 
For  our  purpose,  the  import  trade  of  our  merchants  is  suf- 
ficient. From  our  most  reliable  business  men  we  have 
received  full  information,  from  which  we  base  our  estimates. 
The  sums  given  embrace  the  lumber  trade,  which  is  very 
large — much  heavier  for  this  and  the  last  year  than  it  has 
been  at  any  previous  time.  This  fact  is  owing  to  the  spirit 
of  improvement  manifested  by  our  citizens.  Buildings  of 
various  kinds  are  going  up  all  over  the  county,  and  the  un- 
sightly cabins  are  rapidly  giving  place  to  comfortable  and 
in  many  instances  elegant  and  costly  dwellings.  Farms  that 
have  long  "laid  out  to  the  commons,"  as  it  would  be  termed 
elsewhere,  are  being  fenced  as  rapidly  as  the  means  of  the 
owners  Avill  permit.  Owing  to  this  our  imports  present  an 
alarming  array  of  figures,  which,  if  not  rightly  understood, 
would  subject  us  to  the  charge  of  extravagance.  For  many 
years  to  come  the  imports  of  lumber  in  this  county  will 
reach  up  among  the  hundred  thousands,  or  about  half  a 
million  per  year — another  reason  why  this  county  should 
be  connected  by  rail  with  the  Mendocino  lumber  regions. 

Another  very  large  item  in  our  import  list  is  hardware 
and  agricultural  tools.  A  glance  at  the  books  of  our  im- 
porters will  give  an  idea  of  the  magnitude  of  this  branch 
of  imports.     Gray  A:  AVood,  of  Woodland,  and  Griffith  & 


YOLO   COUNTY.  157 

Co.,  of  Cacheville,  import  largely  of  this  class.  Mncli  of 
this  might  be  saved  the  county  were  the  manufacturing  in- 
terest properly  represented.  We  notice  among  the  articles 
at  Gray  &  Wood's  many  manufactured  entirely  of  Eastern 
material  and  by  Eastern  labor.  These  articles  could  be 
made  here  and  sold  as  cheaply  as  now,  and  the  profits  of  the 
labor  retained  in  our  midst. 

The  amount  of  our  annual  imports  foot  up  to  two  million 
three  hundred  and  eighty-one  thousand  seven  hundred  and 
thirteen  dollars. 

List  of  the  Heaviest  Importers.

tools. 

Griffith  &  Co.,  Cacheville,  general  merchandise  and  ag-

Laugenour  &  Brownell,  Knight's  Landing,  farming  imple- 
ments and  lumber. 

Fleishman  &  Kaufman,  Woodland,  dry  goods  and  gro- 
ceries. 

Exports. 

The  principal  articles  of  export  are  wheat,  barley,  fruit 
of  all  kinds,  vegetables,  stock  of  all  kinds,  dairy  products, 
wood,  wool,  wine,  eggs,  poultry,  and  the  eggs  of  the  silk- 
worm. Hay  cannot  be  considered  as  fonning  a  part  of  our 
exports,  as  the  average  product  is  no  more  than  used  here. 
It  is  true  that  from  part  of  the  county  hay  is  exported  in 
considerable  quantities  during  some  seasons,  but  a  fair 
average  of  one  year  with  another  would  leave  but  little,  if 
any,  surplus  in  the  county.  From  various  sources,  our  ex- 
ports foot  up  to  two  million  nine  hundred  and  forty-eight 
thousand  eight  hundred  and  twenty  dollars.

a  reference  to  our  stock  table  is  sufficient,  and  will  answer 
every  purpose. 

We  now  turn  our  attention  to  other  matters  of  interest 
connected  with  the  county. 

Sales  of  Town  Lots. 

The  following  table  shows  the  principal  sales  of  town 
lots  in  the  several  towns  of  Yolo  County  since  the  first  of 
January,  1869,  as  shown  by  the  records.  The  names  of 
the  grantees  are  alphabetically  arranged.  Other  transfers 
have  been  made  by  deeds  of  gift  and  for  nominal  consider- 
ations :

Sales  of  Land. 

The  following  table  shows  the  principal  sales  of  farming 
and  gardening  lands  in  Yolo  County  since  the  1st  of  Janu- 
ary, 18G9,  as  shown  by  the  county  records  up  to  August  1st, 
1870.  The  names  of  the  grantors  are  alphabetically  ar- 
ranged. There  have  been  many  other  transfers  of  real 
estate,  but  the  lands  conveyed  thereby  have  been  in  some 
instances  swamp  and  overflowed,  in  others  mountain  lands, 
and  in  others  transfers  of  possessory  rights,  without  title, 
so  that  it  is  believed  the  table  shows  a  fair  estimate  of  the 
transfers  of  the  farming  lands  Avithin  the  time  specified :

Grape  Culture. 

As  will  be  seen  by  reference  to  other  parts  of  this  work, 
the  grape  is  largely  cultivated  in  this  county.     The  princi- 
pal variety  now  bearing  is  the  Mission  or  California  grape, 
though  many  foreign  varieties  have  been  planted,  and  are 
now  producing  excellent  fruit.     Those  now  engaged  in  put- 
ting out  vineyards,  mostly  choose  the  foreign  grape,  prefer- 
ing  them  for  wine-making  for  various  reasons.     The  number 
of  acres  in  grapes  is  about  five  hundred,  not  including  many 
small  lots.     The  value  of  the  grape  culture  is  best  exempli- 
fied by  taking  the  records  of  those  who  have  made  it  a  spe- 
cialty.    Mr.  N.  Wyckoff,  near  Woodland,  says:     "At  one 
cent  per  pound — assured — there  is  more  money  in  the  grape 
than  in  wheat.     It  will  pay  three  times  better,  considering 
the  cost  of  plowing,  harvesting,  wear  of  land,  etc."     In  1862, 
the  gross  yield  of  his  grapes  i)er  acre  amounted  to  one  hun- 
dred and  sixty-two  dollars,  netting  him  one  hundred  and 
twenty-five  dollars  per  acre.     If  the  farmer  nets  from  seven 
to  twelve  dollars  per  acre  on  wheat,  he  does  well — better 
by  far  than  the  average.     One  great  want  is  felt,  which,  if 
supplied,  would  render  grape  culture  one  of   the  leading 
features  of  the  county — an  assured  home  market.     If  an 
organization    could   be   formed,  with   capital   sufiicient  to 
carry  on  wine-making  and  purchase  the  grapes  grown  in 
the  county,  but  a  few  years  would  elapse  before  a  large 
portion  of  the  lands  suitable  would  be  planted  in  vineyards. 
J.  Knauth,  who  has  had  the  benefit  of  a  California  expe- 
rience  in  wine-making,  pronounces  the  foothills  of    Yolo 
County,  or  portions  of  them,  equal   to   the   vine   lands  of 
Germany.     As  he  possesses   a   scientific   education,  com- 
bined with  a  practical  experience  of  twenty  years  in  the 
vineyards  of  Germany,  he  should  be  considered  good  au- 
thority in  this  matter.     Mr.  Knauth  visited  the  whole  wine- 
growing   portions  of    the    State,    and,  after  carefully   and 
critically  analyzing  the  soil  in  various  localities,  finally  set- 
tled on  the  foothills  of  Yolo,  as  possessing  the  natural  qual- 
ities of  soil  required  to  enable  the  wine  grape  to  be  grown 
successfully.     One  main  feature  of  the  foothills  essentially 


YOLO   COUNTY.  171 

requisite  in  grape-growing  districts,  where  it  is  intended  to 
make  wine,  is  the  absence  of  alkali.  Another  fact  which 
recommends  them  is  this — the  racy  nature  of  the  soil  and 
the  j)resence  of  the  bed-rock,  or  a  very  hard  substratum 
near  the  surface;  this  also  being  considered  by  grape- 
growers  as  essential.  For  these  reasons  principally  the 
Orleans  Yinicultural  Association  has  located  its  vineyard, 
on  the  hills,  near  Capay  Valley,  where  Mr.  Knauth  first 
started  his  vineyard,  which  now  forms  part  of  the  Com- 
pany's grounds.  The  quality  of  this  wine  and  the  superior 
price  obtained  for  it,  at  home  and  abroad,  fully  justify  Mr. 
Knauth's  predictions  and  selection. 


Stock  Interests  of  the  County— Horses. 

It  is  frequently  said,  when  speaking  of  this  county,  that 
it  is  a  grain  county,  and  has  only  this  one  reliance;  hence, 
in  seasons  when  the  grain  crops  fail,  this  county  feels  the 
loss  more  than  many  others.  The  remark  is  correct  in  the 
main,  but  still  a  very  large  amount  is  invested  in  stock  in 
the  county,  a  portion  of  which  will  not  yield  a  large  per 
cent,  on  the  money  invested,  taking  the  supposed  value  of 
such  stock  as  a  basis  for  calculation.  Poor  stock,  or  poor 
qualities  of  stock,  such  as  mustang  horses  and  bronco  cat- 
tle, will  not  pay  well  in  any  county,  in  comparison  with  bet- 
ter breeds.  The  half-breed  cattle,  now  nearly  exhausted  in 
this  county,  do  well  for  beef,  but  this  market  presents  no 
demand  for  half-breed  horses  for  the  butchers'  stalls.  Al- 
though ready  to  adopt  most  of  the  French  customs,  the  peo- 
ple of  Yolo  have  not  yet  tried  horse  flesh  as  an  article  of 
food.  There  are  in  the  county  a  large  number  of  half-breed 
and  mustang  horses  that  to-day  would  not  sell  for  the  half 
of  what  it  has  cost  to  raise  them,  where  pasturage  is  at  all 
valuable  or  scarce,  as  it  is  in  this  county.  Instead  of  di- 
minishing, they  are  on  the  increase  in  portions  of  the 
county,  where  allowed  to  run  at  large,  and  the  consequent 
result  has  been  large  bands  of  horses  of  little  value,  which 
deprive  an  equal  number  of  good  horses  of  a  place  in  the 
range.     Were   this    matter  rectified  and  clean  cattle  and 


172  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

lioi'ses  put  in  their  place,  tlie  stock  valuation  of  Yolo  County 
would  be  doubled  at  once.  To  those  wishing  to  purchase 
saddle  or  light  draft  horses,  we  would  say  come  to  Yolo; 
they  are  plenty  here  and  should  be  cheap. 

Aside  from  this  class,  the  county  can  truly  boast  of  fine 
horses.  Our  most  enterprising  farmers  have  rid  themselves 
of  their  half-breeds  and  mustangs  and  supplied  the  deficit 
with  fine  American  stock.  Many  of  our  wealthier  citizens 
have  imported  the  best  blooded  stallions  and  brood  mares 
to  be  had,  of  draft,  carriage  and  roadster  stock,  including 
some  of  the  best  trotters  in  the  State.  A  reference  to  the 
reports  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society  will  enable  one  to 
form  a  very  correct  estimate  of  the  quality  of  the  stock  in 
this  county,  for  we  find  that  Yolo  has  received  a  fair  share  of 
premiums,  and  has  exhibited  her  full  proportion  of  blooded 
horses,  along  with  other  first-class  stock-cattle,  sheep  and 
swine.  The  whole  number  of  horses  in  the  county  is  eight 
thousand  eight  hundred  and  eighty-six,  valued  at  five  hun- 
dred and  thirty-three  thousand  one  hundred  and  sixty  dol- 
lars. 

Mules. 

The  whole  number  of  mules  is  one  thousand  and  thirty- 
five,  valued  at  one  hundred  and  three  thousand  five  hundred 
dollars. 

Jacks  and  Jennies. 

The  whole  number  is — Jacks,  two;  Jennies,  twenty-three; 
total,  twenty-five,  valued  at  three  thousand  five  hundred 
dollars. 

Cattle. 

The  county  is  well  supplied  with  good  cattle,  and  in  parts 
of  the  county  one  can  find  very  choice  blooded  stock.  This 
can  be  traced  in  a  measure  to  the  influence  of  the  State  Fairs, 
but  more  particularly  to  a  circumscribed  limit  of  pasturage 
or  range.  We  notice  that  those  localities  nearer  the  City 
of  Sacramento  average  better  cattle,  as  a  rule,  than  is  found 
in  parts  more  remote.     The  lists  of   entries  of  cattle  for 


YOLO   COUNTY.  173 

competition  at  the  fairs  are  in  favor  of  these  localities,  per- 
haps owing  to  the  fact  that  they  possess  the  advantages  of 
living  near  the  fair-grounds.  But  as  the  range  for  stock  has 
1  een  narrowed  by  the  encroachment  of  the  grain  fields,  it 
has  been  found  necessary  to  improve  the  breeds,  and,  with 
a  few  head,  reap  as  much  or  more  profit  than  was  formerly 
received  from  large  herds  of  small,  scrawny,  light  stock, 
such  as  formerly  ranged  over  these  plains. 

This  restriction,  not  being  so  much  felt  in  the  unsur- 
voyed  mountain  ranges,  the  quality  of  the  stock  has  not 
been  improved  in  those  localities  in  the  same  ratio,  though 
great  progress  is  now  visible  in  the  increasing  excellence  of 
the  herds  in  that  section.  The  whole  number  of  cattle  in 
the  county  is  eleven  thousand  four  hundred  and  twenty-four 
head,  divided  as  follows:  Milch  cows,  three  thousand  three 
hundred  and  thirty;  work  oxen,  four;  other  cattle,  eight 
thousand  and  ninety  head;  value,  three  hundred  and  thirty- 
two  thousand  seven  hundred  and  twenty  dollars. 

Hogs. 

The  "root  of  all  evil,"  the  proverb  says  is  money.  The 
root  of  Yolo  County  is  hogs — hogs  in  the  marshes,  hogs  on 
the  plains,  hogs  in  the  mountains,  hogs  everywhere,  and  a 
few  scattering  ones  running  around  loose.  The  mountains 
are  full  of  wild  hogs  and  the  valleys  support  their  share  of 
tame  ones.  Hog  traps  are  plenty  in  the  hills,  and  hog  hunts 
are  becoming  as  plenty  and  famous  as  the  royal  boar  hunts 
of  old. 

The  profits  arising  from  raising  this  animal  are  very  great, 
as  it  is  very  prolific,  arrives  at  maturity  early,  and  eats  what 
other  animals  refuses,  yet  refuses  what  other  animals  will 
eat.  There  are  few  counties  in  the  State  so  well  adapted  to 
the  wants  of  this  animal  as  Yolo  County.  The  vast  marshes 
are  well  supplied  with  esculent  roots,  on  which  the  hog  de- 
lights to  feed — in  fact  this  animal  prefers  roots.  The  moun- 
tain ranges  furnish  vast  fields  of  pasturage  of  little  value  to 
the  cattle,  and  the  chapparel  berries  refused  by  other  stock 
are  eagerly  sought  by  the  peculiar  animal  under  considera- 


174  'I'HE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

tion,  aucl  wlien  driven  from  tlie  liills  to  tlie  stubble  field  of 
the  plains,  he  is  generally  sleek  and  fat.  During  the  fall 
vast  droves  of  hogs  can  be  seen  scattered  through  the 
stubble  fields  fattening  preparatory  to  being  driven  to  mar- 
ket. The  general  breeds  now  common  are  the  Suftblk, 
Berkshire  and  Chinese.  The  whole  number  of  hogs  in  the 
county,  as  near  as  can  be  estimated,  is  thirty  thousand  seven 
hundred  and  twentj'-five,  valued  at  one  hundred  and  twenty 
thousand  dollars. 

Sheep, 

This  county  is  becoming  well  supplied  with  sheep,  many 
of  w^hich  are  of  excellent  quality.  Several  years  since, 
Messrs.  Gillig  &  Arnold  imported  some  very  fine  Merino 
sheep  for  their  ranch  in  Capay  Yalley;  and  in  this  connec- 
tion we  will  remark  that  they  also  purchased  for  the  same 
place  some  fine  Cashmere  goats,  male  and  female;  but  of 
the  result  of  the  latter  venture  we  have  no  record.  The  in- 
creased value  and  improved  quality  of  the  sheep  in  that 
locality  is  due  in  a  great  measure  to  this  importation,  giving 
as  it  did  an  impetus  in  the  right  direction.  Later,  the 
Hoppin  Brothers,  of  Cacheville,  became  the  owners  of  some 
Cotswolds,  from  Avhich  they  have  secured  one  of  the  finest 
bands  of  sheep  in  the  county.  Judge  Hutton,  also  of 
Cacheville,  has  full-blood  Spanish  Merinos,  his  whole  band 
averaging  three-fourths  to  seven-eighths  blood  of  that  vari- 
ety. We  might  enumerate  others,  but  these  stand  more 
prominently  before  the  public  as  men  who  have  taken  more 
interest  in  perfecting  their  stock  of  various  kinds,  and  have 
expended  much  time  and  money  in  experiments  tending  to 
that  result.  The  raising  of  sheep  has  so  far  proved  very 
profitable,  and  the  interest  in  this  branch  of  stock  is  yearly 
increasing.  The  whole  number  of  sheep  in  the  county  is 
seventy- three  thousand  two  hundred  and  twenty-one;  value, 
one  hundred  and  fifty-three  thousand  four  hundred  and 
fifty-two  dollars.

County  Finances. 

There  is  money  now  in  the  county  treasury  to  pay  all  war- 
rants issued  and  registered  on  the  general  fund  prior  to 
the  second  day  of  March,  1869;  and  the  taxes  to  be  col- 
lected the  present  season  will  doubtless  extinguish  all  the 
indebtedness  of  that  fund  up  to  August  of  the  present  year. 
Warrants  on  this  fund  sell  at  eighty -seven  per  cent. 

Hospital  Fund. 

There  is  money  now  in  the  treasury  to  pay  all  indebted- 
ness of  this  fund  that  accrued  prior  to  December  8th, 
1869.  The  taxes  of  the  present  season  will  extinguish  the 
indebtedness.     Warrants  sell  at  ninety  cents. 

The  Road  Fund  is  behind  from  December  8th,  1868. 
The  taxes  of  the  present  year  may  pay  all  indebtedness  of 
that  fund  that  accrued  prior  to  January,  1870. 

Of  the  Swamp  Land  Fund  there  is  now  in  the  county 
treasury  a   surplus  of   six  thousand    seven   hundred  and 


176  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  G.^ZETTEER. 

eighty-four  dollars  and  eiglity-tliree  cents,  subject  to  war- 
rants that  may  be  hereafter  issued. 

We  have  now  given  brief  notices  of  the  leading  interests 
of  the  county,  as  far  as  the  size  and  nature  of  our  work 
would  permit.     We  will  briefly  refer  to  the  general 


Climate 

Of  the  county.  The  winters  are  mild,  snow  rarely  falling 
in  the  valley,  and  we  believe  it  has  not  fallen  to  lie  twelve 
hours  but  twice  within  the  recollection  of  the  "oldest 
inhabitant."  Frosts  are  frequent  during  the  winter  sea- 
son, sometimes  freezing  thin  ice  on  shallow,  still  water. 
In  the  foothills  but  little  frost  is  felt,  and  from  the  first 
rains  vegetation  grows  rapidly.  During  the  summer  the 
heat  is  very  severe,  the  thermometer  frequently  standing  at 
one  hundred  degrees  and  upwards  for  several  days  in  suc- 
cession, though  the  average  length  of  the  ' '  hot  spells  "  is 
about  three  days,  when  a  cooler  "spell"  sets  in,  continu- 
ing from  a  week  to  ten  days.  The  south  wind  generally  is 
cool  and  refreshing,  and  accompanies  the  cooler  weather, 
bringing  the  invigorating  sea  breezes  in  its  train.  The 
cessation  of  the  south  wind  is  frequently  followed  by  the 
north  wind,  which  in  summer  is  hot,  dry  and  scorching  in 
the  extreme,  but  in  the  rainy  season  it  is  cold  and  dry,  gen- 
erally, but  if  accompanied  by  rain,  the  storms  are  the  most 
bleak  of  the  season. 

Newspapers. 

In  the  historical  part  of  this  work  will  be  found  a  record 
of  the  newspapers  of  the  past.  We,  dealing  only  Avith  the 
present,  ofter  the  following  sketch  of  the  newspapers  now 
published : 

The  "  Yolo  Democrat." 

This  journal  was  established  November  23d,  1867,  by 
W.  A.  Henry  &  Co.,  publishers;  edited  by  Mr.  Henry.  It 
was  thus  conducted  until  May  1st,  1868,  when  it  passed 


YOLO   COUNTY.  177 

into  the  hands  of  the  "Democrat  Publishing  Company," 
tinder  whose  management  it  remained  until  September 
30th,  1869.  During  this  period  the  paper  was  conducted 
strictly  as  a  Democratic  journal,  as  its  name  implies,  and, 
by  the  way,  it  holds  and  enunciates  the  same  doctrines 
now.  On  September  30th,  1869,  Messrs.  H.  C.  Groverand 
William  Saunders  became  the  proprietors,  and  the  paper 
was  increased  to  its  present  size  at  the  commencement  of 
its  third  year  and  volume,  the  old  type  giving  place  to  a 
new  dress.  It  is  now  a  twenty-four  by  thirty-six  sheet, 
equal  in  tj'pographical  appearance  to  any  country  paper. 
With  this  change  the  word  "  County  "  was  dropped  from 
the  heading,  leaving  the  present  name.  Grover  &  Saun- 
ders continued  the  publication  until  February  1st,  1870, 
when  Mr.  Grover  withdrew  from  the  firm  and  William 
Saunders  became  sole  owner.  It  is  now  published  and 
edited  by  him  as  a  strictly  Democratic  journal,  and  is  de- 
servedly popular  with  the  party.  It  has  a  large  circulation, 
and  as  an  advertising  medium  it  is  equal  to  any.  It  is  now 
the  official  paper  of  the  county,  steadily  increasing  in  cir- 
culation, and  fast  achieving  an  enviable  success.  The  job 
office  connected  with  this  journal  is  complete  and  ample 
for  all  business  demands,  and  the  work  will  compare  favor- 
ably with  any  turned  out  elsewhere.  Day  of  publication,

The  first  number  of  this  journal  was  issued  on  the  first 
Thursday  of  October,  1868,  by  C.  Y.  Hammond,  editor 
and  proprietor.  It  was  in  the  midst  of  the  political  excite- 
ment of  the  Presidential  campaign,  and  the  Union  Kepub- 
lican  party  being  without  an  organ  in  Yolo  County,  the 
leading  men  of  the  party  determined  to  found  a  newspaper 
which  should  represent  their  political  views,  believing  that 
such  a  journal  could  be  maintained  and  become  a  perma- 
nent institution.  Accordingly,  C.  Y.  Hammond,  an  old 
editor  and  publisher,  of  Amador  County,  was  conferred 
with,  and  the  result  was  the  establishment  of  the  Yolo 
Weekly  Mail,  as  stated  in  the  opening  of  this  paragraph.

178  THE  WESTERN  SHORE  GAZETTEER. 

Mr.  Hammoud  published  the  paper  with  marked  success 
during  the  campaign  of  1869,  and  the  patronage  extended 
evidences  the  success  of  the  experiment.  With  the  ad- 
vance of  the  prosperity  of  the  community,  the  patronage  of 
the  journal  and  its  circulation  has  steadily  increased  to  the 
present  time,  when  the  journal  stands  on  a  firm  founda- 
tion. 

On  the  twenty-third  of  December,  18G9,  Mr.  Hammond 
disposed  of  the  office  to  Messrs.  Wagstaff  and  Jones,  by 
whom  it  was  published,  the  former  being  editor,  until  the 
twenty-third  of  May,  1870,  when  Mr.  Joues  retired  and  the 
present  editor  and  proprietor  became  sole  owner.  With 
the  first  change  mentioned,  when  Messrs.  Wagstaff  and 
Jones  became  the  proprietors,  the  features  of  the  paper 
were  materially  changed  in  all  but  its  political  views. 
During  the  winter  of  1869-70,  the  future  was  rather  gloomy, 
owing  to  the  scarcity  of  money  in  the  county  and  the  an- 
ticipation of  short  crops.  But  the  citizens  of  Woodland 
have  generally  proven  themselves  equal  to  any  emergency, 
and  with  the  spring  came  increased  patronage  and  an  as- 
sured success. 

On  Mr.  Wagstaff's  assuming  sole  control  of  the  journal, 
he  immediately  relieved  it  of  the  heavy  debt  by  which  it 
was  burdened  and  placed  it  upon  a  secure  basis  financially. 
The  circulation  of  the  journal  is  large  and  constantly  in- 
creasing, and,  as  an  advertising  medium,  it  has  no  superior 
in  the  county.  The  job  office  is  complete  in  all  its  details, 
and  is  presided  over  by  an  excellent  workman.  Politically 
the  paper  is  now,  as  when  first  issued,  an  uncompromis- 
ing Kepublican  journal.     Day  of  publication,  Thursday. 


City  Papers. 

The  circulation  of  other  journals  in  the  county  is  very 
large,  the  Sacramento  Union  having  the  lead,  followed  by 
the  San  Francisco  Chronicle,  which  holds  the  second 
place.  The  Becord  and  Bee,  of  Sacramento,  also  have 
a    large    circulation,    and    the    Bulletin    and   Call  of  San 


YOLO  CODNTY.  179 

Francisco  are  taken  largely,   the  former  by  business  firms, 
for  its  shipping  and  mercantile  reports. 

Among  the  weeklies  the  Bescue  leads  the  list,  except- 
ing the  Weekly  Union,  which  is  found  in  most  of  the  farm- 
houses in  the  county.  It  is  very  rare  now  that  you  find  a 
farm-house  in  the  county  that  has  not  one  or  both  of  the 
county  papers  and  a  weekly  beside,  and  a  daily  if  practica- 
ble. With  increased  mail  facilities  a  large  increase  would 
be  noted  in  the  circulation  of  daily  journals  in  the  county. 


Marriages.

riages that  have  taken  place  in  this  county  since  March, 
1851.  Owing  to  frequent  delays  in  returning  the  certificates 
for  filing,  the  dates  seem  to  be  somewhat  mixed,  as  will  be 
noticed  in  the  copy:

PROSPECTIYE  EEYIEW. 

We  have  now  finished  our  descriptive  local  matter,  and 
from  what  we  have  written  we  trust  the  reader  can  form  a 
very  correct  estimate  of  the  importance,  value  and  general 
characteristics  of  Yolo  County.  Before  we  close  "this  vol- 
ume we  desire  to  say  a  few  words  to 

Emigrants, 

And  to  those  who  desire  to  see  this  county  peopled  by  an 
industrious  and  energetic  population,  who  shall  settle  on 
the  rich  lands  which  lie  so  invitingly  before  them,  making 
permanent  homes  in  our  midst,  thus  adding  to  the  general 
wealth  and  prosperity  of  the  county.  Such  is  our  earnest 
wish,  and  such,  we  believe,  is  the  wish  of  all  who  have  the 
interest  of  the  county  at  heart  and  possess  liberal  views 
regarding  the  right  of  labor  to  seek  a  home  among  us. 
Especially  do  we  desire  to  welcome  that  class  of  emigrants 
who  come  to  till  the  soil,  to  extract  from  thence  the  wealth 
now  slumbering  there.  We  desire  to  see  these  broad 
plains  dotted  with  farmhouses,  each  of  which  shall  be  a 
home,  the  citadel  of  a  homestead.  We  desire  to  see  the 
now  unoccupied  hillsides  settled,  and  in  place  of  the  dry, 
parched,  brown  surface,  behold  green  vineyards  and  pleas- 


200  THE   WESTERN   SHORE   GA^IETTEER. 

ant  fields  of  fruit,  wliose  annually  increasing  wealth  shall 
swell  the  golden  tide  until  its  shallow  stream  shall  assume 
its  true  proportions,  and,  from  a  rivulet,  become  a  mighty 
river.  Until  such  changes  ghall  have  been  made,  the  real 
wealth  and  capabilities  of  the  county  can  only  be  conjec- 
tured. 

It  is  true  that  we  desire  to  see  this  change,  promising,  as 
it  does,  so  much  of  good,  so  much  that  is  desirable.  The 
most  careless  reader  of  these  pages  cannot  fail  of  arriving 
at  a  correct  conclusion  regarding  the  capability  of  the 
county  to  support  a  population  four-fold  its  present  num- 
ber. In  order  to  secure  an  increase  of  population,  it  would 
be  proper  to  enumerate  the  advantages  we  have  to  offer 
emigrants  to  induce  them  to  cast  their  lot  with  us.  How- 
ever much  we  may  wish  it  were  otherwise,  truth  compels 
us  to  admit  that  those  advantages  are  very  few.  Let  us 
enumerate  them : 

A  soil  of  surpassing  fertility,  a  genial  climate,  good 
water  (generally  easy  of  obtaining),  a  healthy  country, 
good  sdiools,  and  more  than  an  average  variety'of  relig- 
ious denominations  with  which  to  afiiliate. 

That  is  about  all  we  think  of,  and  more  than  rightfully 
belongs  in  the  list,  for  the  incomparable  soil  of  which  Cali- 
fornians  are  so  apt  to  boast  is  no  longer  open  for  entry  by 
the  poor  man,  be  he  immigrant  or  native. 

It  seems  rather  rough  on  speculators  and  Immigrant  Aid 
Societies  to  even  attempt  to  disprove  the  oft-repeated  as- 
sertion that  California  has  lands  enough  for  all  who  choose 
to  settle  within  her  borders.  "We  will  not  deny  the  asser- 
tion. It  is  true — if  the  parties  seeking  land  are  not  par- 
ticular regarding  quantity,  location,  quality  or  price.  But 
still,  with  all  due  deference  to  the  journals  (who  should 
know  better)  that  constantly  reiterate  the  cry  of  free  lands 
for  immigrants,  we  purpose  to  state  briefly  the  inducements 
to  immigrants  ■  that  are  presented  by  Yolo  County.  The 
immigrant  desires  land  -good  land,  Government  land — 
such  as  he  can  enter  at  Government  price,  such  as  he  can 
till,  and  from  which  he  can  receive  immediate  returns. 
There  is  no  such  land  in  Yolo  County;  and  we  submit  the 


YOLO   COUNTY.  201 

proposition  to  tliose  best  acquainted  with  the  land  interest, 
that  the  same  state  of  affairs  exists  throughout  the  whole 
State. 

We  admit  that  there  is  plenty  of  land  for  sale,  but  at 
prices  ranging  far  beyond  the  means  of  the  ordinary  immi- 
grant. We  admit  that  there  are  vacant  lands,  rich  in  natu- 
ral wealth,  that  can  still  be  had  of  the  Goyernment;  but 
those  lands  are  of  the  foothill  and  mountainous  districts, 
and  fit  only  for  the  vine  and  fruit  culture.  To  the  poor 
immigrant  they  possess  no  attraction,  because  he  must  be 
j)ossessed  of  capital  sufficient  to  enable  him  to  live  for 
three  or  four  yedrs  before  he  can  expect  to  receive  any 
return  from  his  investments,  should  he  settle  on  and  im- 
prove those  lands.  During  the  interval  between  planting 
the  vineyard  or  orchard  and  its  bearing  season,  he  must 
trust  to  labor  or  the  renting  of  lands.  In  either  case,  the 
prospect  is  none  of  the  brightest  for  him  during  that  inter- 
val. We  have  more  laborers  now  than  can  find  profitable 
employment;  we  have  more  renters  than  farms  offered  for 
rent.  Then  what  inducement  have  we  to  offer  the  immi- 
grant, that  shall  cause  him  to  pass  by  the  Government  lands 
of  Iowa,  Kansas,  Nebraska,  or  Illinois,  the  soil  of  which  is  (y 
equal  to  any  in  the  world.  Truly  we  have  nothing — except 
a  more  genial  climate.  We  would  invite  those  editors  who 
are  continually  calling  for  immigrants,  to  take  a  trip  through 
the  State  and  satisfy  themselves  regarding  this  matter. 
Can  they  for  a  moment  believe  the  oft-repeated  assertion, 
that  there  is  "good  land  in  plenty  for  all,"  after  they  have 
seen  the  thousands  of  farmers  who  annually  rent  farms, 
because  they  can  find  no  vacant  lands  on  which  to  settle 
that  would  insure  them  a  living  ?  Let  them  take  note  of 
the  hundreds  and  thousands  of  farm  laborers  in  this  State, 
who  can  find  employment  only  about  sis  months  of  the 
year.  Let  them  take  further  and  final  note  of  the  vast  land 
monopolies  that  have  swallowed  up  all  the  available  lands 
of  the  State,  make  a  record  of  the  prices  at  which  those 
lands  are  held,  and  then  we  venture  the  assertion  that  they 
Avill   coincide  with   us   in   the   opinion   that  neither  Yolo 


202  THE   WESTERN   SHOKE   GAZETTEER. 

County,  nor  yet  tlie  State,  lias  any  superior  inducements 
to  offer  immigrants. 

The  curse  of  land  monopoly  lias  destroyed  the  hopes  of 
the  immigrants,  who,  if  well  informed,  know  that  they 
cannot  hope  to  obtain  land  here  on  terms  that  will  com- 
pare with  the  inducements  offered  them  elsewhere.  The 
fact  is  well  known,  that  the  majority  of  the  available  lands 
are  held  by  speculators,  at  prices  far  beyond  the  reach  of 
a  poor  man. 

It  is  argned  that  these  speculators  must  sell,  in  time; 
that  these  tracts  must  be  broken  up;  that  they  cannot  hold 
them  long,  on  account  of  interest,  taxes  and  other  causes. 
Let  us  see :  The  first  cost  of  these  lands  was  one  dollar 
and  twenty-five  cents  per  acre  in  greenbacks — ^equivalent  to 
about  eighty  cents,  gold,  when  these  lands  were  purchased. 
These  lands  are  held  at  from  ten  to  fifty  dollars  per  acre, 
according  to  locality — and  what  is  of  more  importance, 
they  sell  for  these  sums  when  sold  at  all.  They  are  rented, 
or  most  of  these  tracts  are,  and  yearly  bring  the  owner  a 
large  interest  on  the  prices  asked.  They  are  taxed — yes, 
they  are  taxed;  but  how  much?  Land  that  sells  from  ten 
to  fifty  dollars  per  acre  is  taxed  at  three  dollars  to  fifteen 
dollars  per  acre.  Is  it  probable  that  wealthy  men  will  part 
with  property  worth  ten  thousand  dollars— bringing  a  large 
interest  on  that  sum — and  only  paying  taxes  on  two  thou- 
sand five  hundred  dollars,  unless  compelled  to  ?  Not  until 
real  estate  is  taxed  to  its  full  value,  can  we  hope  for  a 
change  beneficial  to  the  cause  of  immigration,  for  our  law- 
givers and  land  monopolists  have  raised  a  barrier  to  immi- 
gration more  insurmountable  than  the  Sierras — harder  to 
overcome  than  the  deserts  which  lie  between  us  and  the 
people  whose  presence  we  covet. 

The  emigrant  who  locates  here  must  depend  on  renting 
land,  if  he  be  not  able  to  purchase  a  farm  at  the  ruling 
prices.  There  is  no  inducement  in  this  to  the  true  emi- 
grant. His  object  in  seeking  new  localities  is  a  liouie — 
land  that  he  can  call  his  own.  He  could  rent  land  without 
removing  from  his  birthplace.  Then,  what  have  we  in 
Yolo,  or  in  California,  to  offer  the  emigrant  to  induce  him  to 


YOLO   COUNTY.  203 

pass  the  rich  public  lands  of  Iowa,  Kansas  and  Nebraska, 
with  soil  as  fertile  as  our  own,  and  make  his  home  among 
us  ?  A  better  climate — nothing  more.  Strip  the  question 
of  immigration  of  the  mass  of  verbiage  thrown  around  it, 
and  the  sophistry  of  speculative  individuals  who  would 
sell  their  ill-gotten  lands  at  a  high  figure,  and  it  amounts 
to  this — only  this — a  better  climate. 

From  the  reasons  given,  and  many  others  unmentioned, 
kindred  to  the  subject,  we  are  reluctantly  compelled  to 
admit  that  Yolo  County  can  oflfer  no  good  reasons  why 
immigrants  should  seek  her  borders;  and  this  remark 
applies  to  the  State  at  large. 

W^  find  no  fault  with  this  state  of  affairs .  We  simply 
point  out  the  absurdity  of  the  ceaseless  call  for  immi- 
grants, when  the  state  of  the  land  market  forbids  the  immi- 
gration of  families. 

We  are  well  aware  that  the  prices  asked  for  Yolo  County 
lands  can  be  readily  obtained  in  most  instances — that  the 
valuation  placed  on  those  lands  in  this  book  is  generally 
below  what  they  will  bring — but  this  does  not  help  immi- 
gj-ation;  oil  the  contrary,  retards  it.  Hence,  we  must  look 
only  to  the  natural  increase,  and  cease  to  expect  a  great 
influx  of  population  from  foreign  sources.  At  least,  such 
is  the  plain  view  of  the  case,  and  no  amount  of  false  rea- 
soning can  convince  intelligent  immigrants  to  the  contrary.

conservative  and  wealthy  Companies  for  protection  of  the  solid  and  permanent 
order.

NATIONAL    INDEBTEDNESS. 

It  will  be  seen  that,  in  proportion  to  ten'itory,  the  debt  of  the  United 

States  is  less  oppressive  than  that  of  any  other  country.     Our  debt  is  up  to 

December  1,  1869,  and  estimated  upon  a  population  that  will  probably  be 

within  the  census  return:

SI^  This  favorite  route  possesses  many  advantages,  to  those  who 
desire  to  visit  Sacramento,  MarysviUe  and  other  interior  towns. 
Traversing  a  highly  cultivated  country,  it  presents  to  the  tourist  the 
brightest  pictures  of  California  scenery.  The  time  saved  the  traveler 
by  patronizing  this  route,  whether  he  be  journeying  to  Sacramento  or 
other  interior  points,  is  of  considerable  moment  to  business  men. 
Two  or  three  hours  saved  is  often  of  vital  interest.  We  claim  low 
fare,  good  accommodations,  and  the  shortest  route  to  the  interior.
